I’m considering buying a co-op just outside ps321. It is in ps282 which according to everything I’ve read at greatschools and elsewhere is a pretty bad school (no offense to anyone involved in the school, just being blunt).. Few programs available beyond the basic three Rs, shrinking staff and student sizes, poor test scores. Overall evaluation of 5/10, vs 9/10 for 321.

The contrast between 321 could not be greater. I think that schools around 321 suffer from its presence, as the motivated parents immediately around it pull their kids from the zoned school and find some way to get into 321, or go private.

Our kid is 1 year old. We don’t have to worry about this until he is 3 or 4, but obviously it is a big factor when purchasing. So what are the real alternatives (and prices) of being just outside 321 if you want to give your kid maximum advantages?
