House of the Day: 225 Garfield Place
This brownstone at 225 Garfield Place in Park Slope was an Open House Pick on Friday but it clearly deserves the full House of the Day treatment. Exterior? Great. Location? Great? Gut renovation? Extensive and probably expensive. Does it work for you? More importantly, can it fetch the $2,290,000 asking price? 225 Garfield Place [Corcoran]…

Bklpepbe:
As Ditto mentioned, that 153 ranking is for ALL of New York STATE (not city) not to mention it includes elementary, middle AND high schools.
Of over 3,400 public schools in the State of New York (including some extremely wealthy ones in Long Island and Westchester) P.S. 321 ranks in the 95th percentile.
Not bad for Brooklyn.
tybur6 I think it is you that are out of touch since you obviously do not make anywhere near the money required to purchase a house like this Nor do you likely know anyone who could – since I am far closer to this “reality” then you are I am confident that my assessment is closer to reality than yours. Not to mention many families do not have just one “brat”…and if you think 70K a year after taxes is nothing to the (obviously wealthy) 500K family – they you truly are more of a moron than your obnoxios post reveal you to be.
bklpepbe – thr NYC link states that its 153rd in NYS not NYC. So there aren’t really 152 alterntaivers if you want to live in NYC.
I am not sure what the appeal of sending your kid to PS school is as it’s not even in the top 10 schools

As NSRenter mentioned it is 153rd–plenty of other options, namely 152 alternatives.
The only advantage of going to PS school is other PS kids and of course throwing all that money for living in a dark 2br with two renters no less
mookie2 — I agree that if you have a garden/parlor duplex putting the bedrooms on the garden level makes sense.
11217 — there are 1200 students at PS 321. Are there only 1200 students in the catchment area?
That’s the problem.
Northsloperenter — couldn’t agree with you more. It’s not about money. Folks in this tax bracket have plenty of it. It’s the public/private divide. It’s about quality. If it’s available, that’s awesome. BUT, it seriously irks me when I hear someone hinting at $35k for a kid’s education to be a hardship of some sort when they just plopped down a couple MILLION dollars for their little slice of brooklyn.
Dittoburg — yes, I think you’re right. Maybe next time.
tyburg6 needs a cookie and some milk
Here is the latest info for PS. 321:
http://projects.nytimes.com/new-york-schools-test-scores/counties/kings/districts/nyc-geographic-district-15/schools/p-s-321-william-penn
Out of 3,468 public schools in the state of New York, PS. 321 is ranked 153rd.
Not too shabby.
And HellesBelles, this is current info, so please explain to me how I’m living in the past.
