Are there ps 11 parents living in UES (>60st)? Do you get school busing? We are going to ps 11 G&T class (2nd grader) and wanna know what would be the best way to transport dc to school. TIA [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

dc had 2 UESers in his class. The parents always took the F to 23rd and then walked from there (if the crosstown bus was there they'd hop on but if not, faster to walk). Also, if you are on the F, one mom (when it was cold, rainy) would take the F to West 4 and then transfer to the uptown C or E to 23rd and 8th). The C/E at 23rd is the closest subway so if you can figure out how to pick up the E train on the east side as it's coming from Queens...but I know one of those big transfer hubs is like 8 stories underground [ Reply | More

Some UES school is not nice. i.e. 198. I believe PS 11 G&T will be better even than PS 6. More higher score DCs this year. [ Reply | More

I don't know which school is "better," but I do agree that your zoned school would have to be pretty weak to make it worth doing that schleppy commute at rush hour w/a small child in tow. I would seriously consider moving. [ Reply | More

People travel from Chelsea to UES for private school all the time. I don't see why this is so different (except that it's free, so maybe a cab in the morning wouldn't break the bank!) [ Reply | More

i know this sounds snarky, but how could you not figure out if there was bussing before you accepted your slot? do you know what that commute is like and how it's going to affect your quality of life? seriously, gl. i can't imagine doing this from the ues where almost every school is at least as good.

That' is not nice post! I asked many school when I toured about bussing but nobody gave me a clear answer(including Hunter. We live in downtown). ONLY school I knew has bussing service all over the manhattan was Nest. [ Reply | More

NP- Another UES going to PS 11 this year, K. You cannot even apply for bussing until day one of school... apparently they (whoever regulates bussing) doesn't consider the child part of the school until they've actually sat in the classroom on the first day! We will take the 79th St. crosstown to the C train down to 23rd... it takes about 45 mins. door to door. We chose PS 11 G&T over PS 290... did lots of research before making decision and there are lots of reasons to choose a G&T, especially a good one like PS 11, over a "good" zoned school! And if the commute sucks so bad we can switch to zoned... couldn't switch to G&T if it was the other way around! And hey, if there are enough of us UES'ers we can always carpool! ;-) [ Reply | More
