I'm sorry for you and don't mean to give you a hard time, but that doesn't sound right to me. Who originally told you you were zoned for 40, and who told you you've been rezoned for 19? I'm not seeing anything on the DOE web site about them redrawing districts, and this is sort of a big deal so I would expect it to be there. [ Reply | More ]

A couple of other neighbors (buildings nearby) are in my situation, they have people in their buildings with kids already in 40, and now we are zoned for 19. I haven't seen anything official, but 19 is definitely district 1, so something is going on. [ Reply | More ]

I understand, but I don't think you've actually been rezoned. Again, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make you feel worse! The district boundary going through Stuy Town has been a source of confusion for years. Even the management there doesn't know which buildings are zoned for which schools, or else they've deliberately tried to mislead people I know who looked at apartments there. And PS 40 has taken D1 dc from Stuy Town in the past, because they had the space to do so, and that only added to the confusion. I'm pretty sure you've been D1 the whole time but didn't realize it and your neighbors lucked out and slipped in under the wire. Whatever the case may be, I'm truly sorry. I would be so upset in that situation. [ Reply | More ]

There are some buildings in Stuy that ARE zoned for 40. I know this for a fact. We got a map and verified. Can you trade to one of those buildings. It's tricky - if you can trade and need help figuring out which ones start a new post and we can get togetther and I can show you on the map of Stuy where the district line runs. [ Reply | More ]

I just had a conversation with my friend about PS 19, which is her zoned school. She said that at the time of her tour she was the only parent (not a good sign). The student body was tough, but she was impressed by the quality of the teachers and the Principal. That was two years ago. Perhaps if enough like-minded families attend, that school might turn around. I would expect their G&T program to be quite good because schools like that typically put a lot of resources into the GT to attract framilies. [ Reply | More ]

The DOE did not rezone. Some of Stuy town has always been zoned for D1, ps19. While there may be some people in your building that got into 40 on a variance, that has nothing to do with the zoning. And to answer your question, D1 is not as good as D2 and 19 is not great. But, there are some progressive choice schools in D1 you should check out, Earth, Neighborhood. Good luck. [ Reply | More ]
