Were Trinity and Dalton ones connected ?
Half. Don't want to slice and dice too much more or end up discussing individual kids..

In terms of exmissions, Park Childrens is out placing compared to WSMS. If you live on the west side, that’s the better school.

Tier 1: 92Y, Episcopal
Tier 1.5: Brick
Tier 2: WSMS
There is someone on this board who is clearly affiliated with and pumping WSMS. It is a great school and program but not at the level of the others. It is also much larger and has a significant portion of the population that goes to public school which is a rarity at the other three.

At Brick, for the latest class most popular schools were St B’s (9), Dalton (8), Buckley (6), Chapin, Sacred Heart, St D’s (5 each) and Brearley (4).
In general, they have a little over 50 to place each year and are a top feeder for the single sex schools and Dalton. I would expect the list looks pretty similar at Episcopal whereas 92NY skews more to co-ed.
How many in this Brick's list are siblings/legacy?
Siblings/Legacy stats (best estimate): St. B's (7 or 8), Dalton (5), Chapin (3), Brearley (2), Sacred Heart, Spence, St. D's and Trinity (1 each),
Ohhh so of the 9 St B's, 7ish are sibs and 1-2 unconnected?

9 are going to St B?? Wow
Why is there no Collegiate on this list ?
Are people not as interested
This list covers 42 kids! I am guessing the remainder (1-3 kids each) would be Collegiate, Trinity, Spence, and A-S? I am surprised Spence is not more popular.
Overall really excellent placement. They know what they are doing.

Having a bunch of older siblings at good schools just means the preschool was successful at placing the older siblings, which is a good thing. Those older siblings were “unconnected” once too.
This has always been my feeling as well re siblings. Seems much different than legacies IMO.
