Trevor is outside that top 20, so don’t worry about it. [/quote]

What are the Top 20?[/quote]

HM Dalton Collegiate Trinity Chapin Spence Brearley St Ann’s St B Buckley St David’s Grace Friends Packer Nightingale Allen-Stevenson Fieldston Columbia Grammar Poly Prep Marymount SH

That’s 21. And there are others better than Trevor by a mile. It’s bad and if that’s your only private option you should go public, invest the money in the S&P, and give your kid a few million to buy a condo when he or she is an adult. [/quote]

I've definitely heard way more negative commentary about CGPS than Trevor. Why would you say it's a "bad" school? What makes it bad? [/quote]

People are negative because they’re anti semitic and use code words like new money or flashy when describing the community. It has a much more prestigious history, generous alumni base, and time tested programs. Matriculation bears that out. [/quote]

I'm Jewish and I'll say it - CGPS is a bad school. My kid went there and we pulled her out. All privates are full of new money but the CGPS crowd stands out for being the least grounded and snootiest. FA kids were bullied. Non-white kids were subjected to racism. This was all within the last 5-7 years. [/quote]

That doesn’t mean it’s worse than Trevor. Academically and socially CGPS is better. Nice families with a head on their shoulder are scooped up by the better schools. Those that cannot behave for a simple interview get shafted to schools like Trevor. [/quote]

I don't personally know what Trevor is like but I don't think, "socially" it can get worse than CGPS. My acquaintances that go to Trevor are plenty nice and nothing like the CGPS families. [/quote]

If talking about how Trevor is up and coming and now 2T is your idea of an appropriate conversation 50% of the time, then the Trevor community is great for you. They’re obsessed [/quote]

Trevor clearly pissed in someone’s Cheerios.

No one is arguing it is HM or Trinity. But it isn’t a crap school. I know a bunch of nice families and smart kids who very specifically chose it. Several of whom chose it over Columbia. Though I think there is a lot of overlap.[/quote]

Good job putting your cape on for Trevor. Even if better than CGPS, that’s 20 schools listed that are better and that list forgets many better options. Trevor is such a waste of money it should be criminal. Just go to one of the better UWS publics and give your kid the tuition dollars. They’ll thank you later. [/quote]
