sorry if i offend anyone
not my intention

There are MANY great public middle schools in this city. I_m familiar with east-northeast Queens, which has a bunch of very good ones. There are good ones in other parts of the city, too, but I_m not familiar with them, and therefore have no suggestions. I went to a public one, and have graduated at the top of every class I_ve been in since then, including a public high school and a private university (there are some top-notch good public colleges here as well, but that_s the one that had my field of study and paid me to go there).

Forget about this idea of being _low class_ if you go to a public middle school, I had a great time in mine. That said, there are sadly many parts of this city with sub-par schools, so be careful of where you pick.

But again, I reiterate - not all public schools are good. There are some pretty bad ones. However, there are also many over-rated private schools that don_t live up to their _reputations._ Do some research.

Keep in mind, the private schools want your money, so they_ll feed you the line that public schools are automatically bad and dangerous. Get some _second opinions_ on that.

And I still stand by my answer, despite the thumbs-down. This is speaking from my experience.

I really can_t think of any good middle schools, I_d say stick to a private school.

I went to Hunter College HS, which has a middle school in it.

I_d say they_re pretty selective, so see if you qualify for the exam, you need to have certain scores to be allowed to take it.
