[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would send them to a city public. I went to a rough high school and it was an... experience. I definitely feel like it's been part of my identity. Aren't there a lot of high schools in NYC that you can test into/magnets? [/quote]

Op - there are 5 but they are suuuuper competitive (Stuyvesant/ Brooklyn tech/ Bronx science etc). I don’t know that those are in the cards for my kids [/quote]

Your kid has a better chance at a top college if they go to a lower ranked, inner city school. It will build character.[/quote]

op - uhhhhh noooo....

stuyvesant/ top privates send 20-40%+ kids to ivies. That's compared to around maybe 3% for average NYC public, if that. [/quote]

1) Stuyvesant does not send 20-40% to Ivies, probably 8-10% at most.  I know because one of my kids went there.  You might have seen the statistics on acceptances which seems higher because there are super brilliant kids who also happen to be FGLI and get into multiple Ivies.

2) There are more than 5 SHSAT schools.  Even if some of them don’t work for you location wise, it’s still a lesser competition.  There are also other highly rated schools - Beacon, Bard, Millennium, NEST, ElRo etc.
