Are you looking for top zoned schools? For top unzoned schools, there's the lottery for Manhattan School for Children (333), which is also the lottery to fill spots (if any) at 199, 87, 75. [ Reply | More

Continuing on elementary schools, there are also the gifted schools/programs. Hunter is on the UES and has its own admissions process. The DOE G&Ts are either citywide (Anderson on UWS, TAG on UES, NEST on LES) or district. The best D3 G&Ts are at 9, 166, 163. Oh - and Special Music School down by Lincoln Center which is a citywide I believe. [ Reply | More

The best d3 middle school is probably Delta. There's also Anderson but very few spots since many kids stay and they don't expand. Lots of families like Center School, but that starts in 5th grade so dc needs to leave elementary school early. Others like Manhattan East and Mott Hall 2 and Computer School in D3. Also Hunter adds 200 kids in 7th. [ Reply | More

PS180, Hugo Newman College Prep, is really excellent. But the zone is tiny--Morningside Park to Frederick Douglas Boulevard, 115th to 122nd, and they only have 4 or 5 lottery spots a year for kids outside the zone. You can also try for MSC or 87 or 84 through their lotteries. Or maybe Central Park East. And then there are lots of G&Ts in the area. But if you're in Harlem, unless you live in the PS180 zone, you're going to be looking for the luck of the draw with various G&Ts and lotteries. [ Reply | More
