Too funny. I thought people were pretty Manhattan-centric around here, but this is even worse. What do you call it, midtown-centric? FYI, Manhattan extends up to West 225th St. Harlem is in the low 100s. So you have miles to go from Harlem before leaving Manhattan. [ Reply | More

Hunter is a like lotto. The odds are that bad. Unless dc gets a 99 OLSAT forget about citywide G&Ts. District 3 lottery is out of reach. There are no acceptable district 5 G&Ts. If your friend is moving to Dist 5 where I live- be prepared to pay for private. And apply broadly. We were lucky to get off a wl at a 3rd tier school or we would be SOL right now. [ Reply | More

It's not too bad actually. PS180 zone is good, there is also one other good public zone in Harlem--recently reviewed on Inside Schools but can't remember the number.. If you are in the D3 part of Harlem, there are a lot of g&t programs, Hunter, Central Park East, MSC, and the D3 gen ed lottery. [ Reply | More
