A completely revised new edition of Clara Hemphill’s New York City's Best Public Middle Schools.
Reflecting recent changes brought about by Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s reorganization of New York City’s public school system, this Third Edition features all new reviews of 74 of the city’s best public middle schools. Providing everything parents need to know in choosing a middle school that is just right for their child, New York City’s Best Public Middle Schools: A Parents’ Guide features interviews with teachers, parents, and students to uncover the “inside scoop” on schools—including atmosphere, homework, student stress, competition among students, the quality of teachers, gender issues, the condition of the building, and more.
Clara Hemphill was the founding editor of Insideschools.org at Advocates for Children of New York. She is author of New York City’s Best Public Elementary Schools and New York City’s Best Public High Schools.
