An average NYC subway stop in terms of cleanliness, quality. NOTE: The info provided as of 04/05/2018 indicates that the 2 train stops here. Wrong. It does not. Ever. This is a local stop on the 1 line. And expect to see several express trains zip by while you wait for the local train that almost never runs as frequently as the MTA says.

Needless to say, I can't send 1 kid to 2 schools at the same time to compare schools, but I can point out a few things. My younger child has been going to Berkeley Carroll for 3 years and thoroughly enjoys it. I'm deeply impressed by the teachers and administration. There is a persistent effort to improve. I'm repeatedly struck by how much better schooling and teaching is compared to when I was a kid in upstate NY (but again, comparisons are difficult and how things are now compared to 40 years ago is not especially relevant). My main criterion is that schools endow children with the capability to be who they want to be. Sounds hallmarky, but that's my best summary. BC is doing very well.
