Brooklyn help: 282 G&T or Brooklyn New School? Disappointed we didn't get NEST (99x3 ERB, 99 SB, 98 Olsat--sigh). Thanks for the input. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

282 is an exellent school and getting better. The g&t programs are basically the same everywhere. You saved yourself 20 hrs/week in commute. I am not zoned for 282 but would do it in a second had it been an option. Congrats! [ Reply | More

Are you already in at Brooklyn New School. I would take that, and I've done a lot of thinking about 282, which is my zoned school, and think that given the principal/attitude of administration, it has a long way to go. Or, put another way, it can only change/improve that much. [ Reply | More

I have a choice of 282 G&T and toured BNS. Would not send my kid to BNS and did not returen the form for the waiting list. I am seriously considering sending my DD to 282 - despite what I hear about the administration. Its 282 or private school. [ Reply | More

Can you elaborate? Too strict--formal? What about diversity balance (available stats are old)? Really appreciate. [ Reply | More

I'll probably meet you at the 9a tour tomorrow--parent coordinating bringing in a few of us. I'm fantasizing that I'll love the place and our decision will be an easy one. LOL. [ Reply | More

We liked the school a lot -- quite impressive, great G&T K class it seemed, plus music and art solid. Much more impressed than BNS, but no diversity. Plus it's becoming K-8 next year (starting with new 6th grade class). We're fretting. [ Reply | More

Strict and the administration is not welcoming of parents. Don't know about the stats re diversity - but that doesn't matter to me. [ Reply | More

Funny--reading this post (mine) months later and am thrilled for the BNS vs. 282 decision. They all have their issues, but BNS is sort of an unrecognized jewel. [ Reply | More
