Summary: Considering private school? A must read
Comment: This book is essential to the private-school selection process on two fronts. Not only does it prove a valuable resource for insider information on each of the schools (info you won't find through other sources that will help lead families to making the best decision), but the first section also walks you through aspects surrounding the private school experience at large. This includes exploration of knowing whether to choose a private school over a public one, which kinds of students fare best in private schools, making the adjustment to the lifestyle, expectations of private school students, and more. For families even considering private school, this book is thought-provoking and guides intelligently.

Summary: New NYC Private Schools Guidebook
Comment: As a New York City educational consultant who specializes in private school admission, I keep up with books and articles about schools. You'd think I'd have a lot to read, but actually, there's not that much information. Private schools are indeed private, many, particularly the schools that are most sought after, like to keep their facts to themselves. For obvious reasons prospective families want to know, which is why I congratulate Princeton Review for pulling off this guide. The writers offer some useful information about admission and a nice listing of high schools, which helpfully includes private as well as selective public. The book would be even better if some well-known schools had provided facts the writers sought, such as more information about admissions, curriculum, student body, and environment.

Best New York City Private and Selective Public Schools is an insider's look at the best private high schools and the most competitive parochial and selective public high schools in all 5 boroughs of New York City. It features student and parent feedback and insider details about admission procedures and extra-curricular offerings for over 70 high schools.
Best New York City Private and Selective Public Schools also includes a practice ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam). Many private schools require the ISEE as part of the admissions process, and so taking a practice test is an ideal way to prepare to apply.
