        • They are both excellent. If you're lucky enough to have the choice, go with your sense of what fits your child best.

                    • Really try to meet parents of current students (often friends know friends you can call). I found this a great source of info.

      • I think drastically is a little strong. Trinity doubles in size for high school and they admit proven high scorers so it in no way implies a superior education. We like progressive so Dalton was obvious. We applied to Trinity also but thought that it looked like it would suck the life out of children.

          • Less stressful I don't know about but cheerier, more creative and more stimulating for sure.

      • No, that is because the children who go there tend to be the offspring of very wealthy and very well-connected families OR very smart. BOTH help with getting in the ivy league.

        • Dalton has a majority Jewish student body, while in Trinity Jews probably make up about a third of the students. Perhaps a little over a quarter of the students are visibly diverse in Trinity, a little more than that at Dalton. Trinity has somewhat more of a balanced UES/UWS mix, while Dalton is much more UES-heavy. Both have very smart kids, as well as wealthy kids, though Trinity parents tend to be more low-key. Of course, Trinity is much harder to get into (thanks to their generous sibling policy), and has better college placement.

          • Really? Majority Jewish? THanks for spelling this out. I think my family would fit better at Trinity and we would like it better but heading for Dalton this fall. Not complaining though.

              • Dalton. We toured Trinity and didn't like it. Too institutional, cold, kids look like robot. Upper school kids looked more lively though. Dalton kids seemed much happier.
