also look at 150...it's not for everyone, but it gets good "reviews" consistently and my dd went there for 6 years and we loved it...and that's not hyperbole. I don't think we could have been happier [ Reply | More

a public 6-12 performing arts school. you have to audition to get in...and some (a minority) of the kids are working. 2 of the Gossip Girl kids are in the high school. it's a very good school IMO, but doesn't have the recognition or status of La Guardia. dd loves it because it's small, like 150 was. the middle school only has one class per grade. and the entire school is only about 400 kids. her teachers have been really good for the most part.

And I bet that once those kids are parents and have to look for a school they will go private for their own children. [ Reply | More

Admission to PS 150 is by lottery, with many kids starting in the preK. I think residents of Lower Manhattan get preference. [ Reply | More

PS 89 and PS 234 are both over-crowded. 234 had a break this year because of the newly-opened annex, but the principals of both schools are scrambling to find room for all students this coming fall. 234 has placed some zoned entering-K students on a waiting list. The New York Times and Downtown Express have had articles on this. [ Reply | More
