  • Does anybody know about reputation about PS 124 and 130 G&T(D2)? Do they have strong academics? Majorities are Chinese? Our DC was accepted but difficult to commute so thinking about declining a spot. Too bad DC couldn't get in 116 or 11....

    • What's your zoned school? 124 and 130 are very very established solid programs with smart kids in the G&T. BUT most kids are chinese.

    • These are "Chinese" schools (90%+ of DCs are Chinese). They have great math scores, but not so good ELA scores (I wonder why). I'm sure the academics are great. I would worry about social aspect if DC was not Asian

    • I spoke with a mom last year who had her caucasian son in the g&t for K. She said she would probably pull him out for first grade because being a minority was tough socially. Even in g&t, most kids were Chinese. I would personally not commute to go there if my child was not Chinese. Was that your third choice?

      • 116 and 11 are very popular in D2. Especially 116 required 98 to get in this year. I doubt pretty much 95 can get PS 11 either.
