[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brearley is a lot different from the other two.  They want brainy go-getters.  The ringers coming in for 9th are 100% competitive and locked-in on the ultimate goal of a TT college slot.  Nothing else matters to them.[/quote]

Also depends on the grade, but culturally NBS students often socialize with Columbia Grammar student body which tend to be a socially faster crowd,  social media and cell phones pop up earlier than at some of the other schools…[/quote]

My daughter's friends at Nightingale socialize more with other UES schools and boys at Collegiate. I don't know anyone from CG in their social circles (besides one pre-school friend, whom they hardly ever see). If anything, Nightingale seem to be one of the more conservative schools on the tech/phone front. [/quote]

Purely anecdotal, my child is a middle schooler at one of the girls’ schools and  the Nightingale girls have the largest online presence on TikTok which is frustrating when you are a parent trying to limit your kids’ online envy.  I hear a lot of, “All the Nightingale girls are online.”   Again, that is just my personal observation and does not reflect the overarching values of the school.
