[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Avenues is a good safety school, nice curriculum but because they need to fill many seats I would say the student body isn’t very academic.   I would choose schools like Allen Stevenson, Buckley, St. David’s, Poly prep, fieldston.   Those are all “2nd tier” but really still very very good.

None of those are pressure cookers.  [/quote]

So those 2nd tier schools that you mentioned above are not competitive and getting a spot is relatively easy and straightforward?[/quote]

Are we talking kindergarten? Most of the private schools are not "pressure cookers" in the elementary years, and the handful that have that reputation ramp things up in middle and high school. The schools mentioned by PP are not "easy" to get into. If that's what you're looking for, then consider schools like Dwight, Avenues, Calhoun, and Trevor Day.[/quote]

And if you want something in between those in terms of likelihood of being admitted, look at LREI, Columbia Grammar, and Grace Church. If you're open to K-8, then consider Town--it flies under the radar, but it has a solid reputation.[/quote]
