is the book, "NYC's Best Public Elementary Schools" worth it, or can I do the same research myself? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

You can just go to Insideschools.org (but if you do buy the book, buy it from there and a % of the price goes to support them). [ Reply | More

are there lists comparing the schools, or is it just a matter of examining the stats for each school individually? [ Reply | More

Buy the book. Even though it's outdated, it can really help to give you a bird's eye view of the entire public school landscape. They really need to update it though! [ Reply | More

i found that book pretty out of date and unhelpful. ditto insideschools. start with both but the best way to find out about a school is to talk to the families who go there. [ Reply | More
