My wife and I stayed in nyc when we were young. With kids now, we are thinking of coming back because of the schools. What is the best way to research the schools that you mention above assuming no prior knowledge.

My experience with the NYC school system is that it’s a highly competitive process. Public schools start off zoned, and the best school zones command a premium for rent and home ownership. Private schools are harder in that you have a competitive application process and then a costly tuition. Starting off in a good school bodes well for landing in a top middle school and eventually a top high school. For public schools: https://schoolzones.us/nyc/ https://schoolzones.us/nyc/ https://www.schooldigger.com/ https://www.schooldigger.com/ NYS tests all their schools. A school which is in the top 10% of the NYS testing would be considered elite. Top 20% is good. The majority of NYC schools are bottom 50%.
