I have heard (at the playground) that it is good. I am going to apply in a couple of years. I wish my friends would all put their kids in 198, but I don't think they want to. I love Carnegie Hill, it could really be a great neighborhood school with involved parents and diversity if people just went there... [ Reply | More
