Ha, I attend what Cristy would consider a "privlic" high school. But technically, it's a public high school. I think the opportunities I get there are on level, if not better than private schools here, simply because my school is competitive and large (nearly 5,000 students). But in most cases, I suppose private schools would be the better choice. Stuyvesant? Eww, Hunter's sworn enemy! :P I think Hunter's harder and more "privlic" than Stuy because you can only take the admissions exam in sixth grade, start in seventh grade, and can't get in after that. I don't know what it's like to transfer out of Stuy, but at Hunter, you can't resume being a student there once you've left for another school. I'd also say the same re: Hunter > NYC's public specialized high schools, at least in the humanities, since I know Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech are better for math and science. But Hunter teaches you how to write well, and you need to write at a certain level to get in at all (if you pass the multiple choice but fail the essay, you're denied admission), so it's great for knowing how to write well in college. |
