Schools
Drake Preparatory School - K-12 - Drake Prep is a small, co-ed private school located on the Upper East Side where only the most elite students may attend. Admission is extremely competitive and generally prohibitively expensive, although Drake does have an extensive financial aid program that hands out a number of scholarships each year to those unable to afford its tuition. Drake is well-known for the amount of alumni who matriculate to Ivy League schools after graduation and its challenging academic curriculum, which also places considerable emphasis on the arts and community service. Students of Drake Prep are required to wear a uniform.
Our Lady of Light - K-12 - Our Lady of Light is an all-girls parochial school located in northern Washington Heights. While OLL accepts students of all religious backgrounds it is predominantly Catholic and there are required religion classes and spiritual exercises. Tuition is generally cheaper than other private schools but it is still a pricier option than public school, although Our Lady of Light does provide its students with excellent academic opportunities. Our Lady of Light students are required to wear a uniform.
Harlem Opportunity Charter School - 6-12 - Harlem Opportunity Charter School, better known as "HOCS," is a decently-sized charter school designed to provide educational excellence to disadvantaged children in Harlem. Its students consistently report better grades and attendance than nearby schools in Harlem, and as a result admissions tend to get a little hectic since so many parents want their children admitted. To ensure fairness HOCS admits all students via a lottery, but students who are admitted receive a phenomenal education pro bono. HOCS students are not required to wear a uniform but there is a strictly enforced dress code.
J. T. Lutgen High - 9-12 - Lutgen High is a very large public high school also located in Harlem. Unfortunately, Lutgen High has a well-deserved reputation for providing a rather lackluster education to its students and school violence tends to run rather high on its campus. As a whole the school performs poorly, although there are obvious exceptions to this rule as there are anywhere. But hey, at least it’s free! Students attending Lutgen High are not required to wear a uniform.
Haile High School - 9-12 - Haile High is a very large public school located in the neighborhood of Gramercy Park. Despite having no private funding to speak of, Haile is renowned for having a first-class academic curriculum and its students typically do well on standardized testing. Haile is a very ethnically diverse school with students from all walks of life, but is primarily attended by Manhattan’s middle class. Haile also has an exceptional athletics program, and their varsity teams are irritatingly prone to winning nearly every game they play. Students who attend Haile High School are not required to wear a school uniform.
Centurion School of the Arts - A public school located in Chelsea with, as the name suggests, a strong emphasis on the arts. Students are expected to take a traditional course load supplemented by courses in both the professional and the performing arts, such as architecture, illustration, theater, and music. Students must either audition or submit a portfolio but there is no tuition to attend if they are selected. Students are not required to wear a uniform.
Latinate Academy - 6-12 - Located on the Upper West Side, Latinate Academy boasts one of the finest science curricula in the state and specializes in resources for multilingual students. It provides full and partial science scholarships, but competition for these positions is very tough and it is possible to lose your scholarship if you don’t perform well. In addition to the math and science geeks, it is the preferred school for children of UN diplomats and provides a comfortably above-average experience for those members of the student body who are not there for the math and science. Latinate boasts more state science fair winners in the past ten years than any other school. Students in the lower school (grades 6-8) are required to wear a uniform at all times, but students in the upper school (9-12) are only required to do so four days of the week.
