[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it but we're from the Upper Westside of Manhattan and since moving to DC and going through the school process here, thank my lucky stars that we avoided the insanity of schools there. It's all relative. :)[/quote] Is it really that bad? Do you all go private?[/quote] It is REALLY REALLY bad. Think the worst and x2 or x5. The public gifted programs that everyone wants like Hunter and Anderson start at K and all require NYC version of the WPPSI and their entrance yr is ONLY K. The other public gifted programs start at 3rd grade so everyone wants these two. There are a whole bunch of private programs - all the "good" ones run around 35K for preschool and has like 20 spaces. Every few yrs, you hear about some millionaire hedge fund manager or similar getting into trouble for trying to get someone to pull strings to get their 3/4 yr old into a private preschool. [/quote]
