From the Publisher
Praise for Clara Hemphill's Parents' Guides!
"The most definitive guidebooks to the city schools." -- The New York Times
"Brisk, thoughtful profiles of topnotch, intriguing schools." -- New York Daily News
"Hemphill has done for schools what Zagat's did for restaurants." -- Big Apple Parent
"Thoughtful, well-researched...required reading." -- New York Magazine
"When I wrote the second edition of this book, I looked primarily at the academic achievements of students. Now, as my own children approach high school, I find I am concerned not only with students' academic success, but also with their social, emotional, and moral development. For the third edition I looked for schools that spark students' curiosity, broaden their horizons, and help them develop into thoughtful, caring adults." -- Clara Hemphill --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
