I'm not up with all of this. Are all these schools public? I know HM and Brearley aren't. I am more interested in how many kids make a successful jump from public to private later on. Since I know this is the plan for many. [ Reply | More

np: Not really, relatively few kids apply to privates for MS. For most it's not in the cards financially. [ Reply | More

PS6 had 6 kids going to HM this year. Quite a few of these kids did not make into 1st choice MS. This makes one wonder that it is pretty easy to get into privates for MS. [ Reply | More

DC is entering LL in Sept and I always thought we'd move him into a private school after 5th grade. I was a little surprised to see so few kids going to a private school. [ Reply | More

Most people just don't end up doing that, for a variety of reasons. You get used to public, your friends continue in public, your finances look better without the tuition, etc. etc. [ Reply | More

I posted above. I am too. I wonder if HS is a big switching time for students/families. Growing up in NY I know of a few who left privates for specialized publics, but don't know about the other way around. [ Reply | More

a lot of people who send dcs to g&t do so because they live in crappy zones and can't afford private. and they often don't qualify for lots of fa because they live in a brownstone they bought for $500k that is now worth $5m. [ Reply | More

Wow! This dc must have graduated from LL this year (2014). Would it be absolutely impossible if the mom who posted this back in summer of 2008 would come back now, in summer of 2014, and tell us how her dc liked the school and where is he headed for middle school? [ Reply | More

PS6 and PS24 in Riverdale send scores of students to private schools. Former because of money, latter because of location. Neither is G&T. PS24 has a G&T class, but there is nothing G&T about it, it's nothing like LL. [ Reply | More
