The problem (in NYC, anyway) is, while there may be many perfectly good public elementary schools, by the time you get to middle school, there are very few. There are some good public high schools too -- but the middle school years are tough. If you're not in the private school system by middle school, you're hosed -- it's even more difficult to get in than it was in kindergarten. Man, sometimes this city sucks.
