  3. #3 Best Private High Schools in New YorkHorace Mann SchoolBronx, NY·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 4.32 out of 5 153 reviewsParent: A current HM parent whose child joined 9G, I had big expectations that have been exceeded. I expected the school to nurture our child's intellectual potential, it is the manner in which this has been cultivated that is impressive -- the depth of critical discussions (feels like college-level engagement), feedback for growth, and a deeply personal and caring network of support from student advisers to social and academic issues is intentional, accessible and thoughtful. The school deserves its STEM reputation, not just due to faculty, facilities and rigor, but equally because of the curiosity-driven and creative space teachers bring to the experience. One thing for HM to change is to bring more prominence to more sports that student athletes do well in, from waterpolo to fencing and field hockey etc. Sports and teamwork are also part of the HM equation but are sometimes overlooked....

The academics are extremely rigorous and quite challenging but it pushes you to be the best version of yourself.

Even beyond the unique facilities Brearley has to offer, I will always love 610 as it has felt like my second home for so many years.

To put it simply, Trinity’s academics are unparalleled; I was beyond prepared for the rigorous college I attend. The vast majority of teachers, especially the older ones are noticeably passionate, committed to their students’ education, and genuinely inspiring.

Those of us who did, and survived till graduation, had four memorable years, starting with the realization that (1) we weren't the smartest kid in the class anymore, and (2) this made for easy camaraderie. I went on to three universities and degrees, for which Regis had prepared me well.

The best part of my experience was the challenging curriculum and the dedicated teachers who were always willing to help. The school offered a wide range of extracurricular activities and opportunities for academic growth. On the downside, the workload was quite heavy at times, which made it challenging to balance academics with other activities. Additionally, the competitive nature of the student body could be overwhelming at times. One thing I would like to see change is a greater emphasis on mental health and well-being. The school could benefit from more support systems and resources to help students manage stress and anxiety.

Beyond that, the personalized attention our children received through Avenues is unparalleled. Both kids were slingshot forward in their academic skills their curiosity about the world, and even their social development. While the online program does lack traditional after-school activities, they do try to provide students with some online versions - music, geography, and LEGO clubs, to name a few. They also connect the students socially through Zoom play dates and Snack’n’chats. They recently established a parent group called FUSE to connect parents with the school and each other.
