[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top UWS publics are more diverse than privates. Not by a lot, but they are. Most importantly, they are much more economically diverse. Kids who go private for elementary are generally rich. Lots more upper middle class kids (who are still very well off) enter for middle or high school.

That being said, the nasty comments towards these private schools remain unnecessary. One can disagree with other people's choices without completely insulting a school in a childish way.

Except for one childish loser here (it's OK to insult adults).[/quote]

I agree on economic diversity but the resident troll claimed that Trevor and Dwight parents avoid public schools to keep their children away from "BIPOC students". It is clearly not the case since 3 main elementary schools on UWS have got low BIPOC representation (e.g. 2-4% black students).

In any case, the troll clearly has no idea what he or she is talking about so this debate is becoming tiring. Other posters have already answered the OP's question about Speyer so I guess I will just move away from this thread. [/quote]

Your average Dwight or Trevor parent thinks (and won’t say to some loose acquaintance) that those BIPOCs in public are unruly and disruptive because the publics can’t screen them out or expel them. They’ll use all sorts of code words. It’s gross. Seriously, given how much better UWS publics are than 3Ts like Trevor, why does Trevor exist at 65k+ a year? This isn’t Collegiate or HM. [/quote]

Smaller classes. Curated families (not saying I agree this is right or OK, but this is what they think), all set for the next 13 years rather than having to go through the process later (particularly for those who are really risk averse and worried that their kid will do poorly and have no decent HS options).

A lot of the schools that I would question spending on for K-8 are actually decent for HS, so best to lock in early (and best case you apply to a better school for HS). I agree that this is a ridiculously huge amount of money to spend to do this, but for some people, money is no object.[/quote]

“Curated families” more coded language. We all know what that means and it’s revolting.

Locking in a decent HS is a good reason but this is Trevor, which isn’t decent. You won’t do much worse in the public HS process if you do the bare minimum of research. [/quote]
