by Sania Baker Freelance Blogger
Finding the best private high schools for your student to attend in New York City is not as daunting or overwhelming of a task as it may seem. You just need to know exactly where to look. Here is a list of the top 10 best private high schools to consider: 

  1. Trinity School: Trinity has nearly 1,000 students with a 7:1 student-teacher ratio. 

  2. Collegiate School: Collegiate School has nearly 40 percent less students than Trinity (648) but still maintains the same 7:1 student-teacher ratio.

  3. Archbishop Molloy High School: Archbishop Molloy High School focuses on providing an exemplary education for one’s mind, body and spirit – helping students to recognize their own self-value while discovering the importance of Christian values, critical thinking and leadership.

  4. Regis High School: Regis is known for its tedious admissions process. However, the intensity and overall quality of the instruction offered makes the journey worthwhile to many parents and students alike.

  5. Dalton School: Dalton has a higher student-teacher ratio than other private high schools in the higher, maintaining a 8:1 average in comparison to the common 7:1.

  6. The Chapin School: The Chapin School has a little more than 700 students attending its educational institution with a student-teacher ratio of 6:1.

  7. Friends Seminary: Similar to other schools found on this list, the Friends Seminary has a little more than 750 students in attendance with a student-teacher ratio of 7:1.

  8. Brearley School: Like the Chapin School, the Brearley School maintains an impressive student-teacher ratio of 6:1 with a head count of 700 students in attendance.

  9. Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School: Even though the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School is able to maintain the same 6:1 student-teacher ratio as several other schools on this list, nearly 1,300 students attend this school – making the ratio even more commendable.

  10. Convent of the Sacred Heart: The Convent of the Sacred Heart is a favored private high school within New York for a number of different reasons – including the quality of the faculty, the structured curriculums and the 7:1 student-teacher ratio with a relatively small attendance count of 710 students.
     
Researching the Best Options

If you are interested in applying to one of the top private high schools in New York City, you must keep a few points in mind. First and foremost, the admission process is stressful, tedious and time-consuming. With such a limited number of available slots (regardless of the selected school), it is very difficult for any new student to “make the cut.” 

The key is to make sure that you research all the required criteria and provide as much documentation when applying as possible to ensure that the admissions officers and corresponding board members (if applicable) have everything they need to make a decision about your child.

In addition, you should never place all of your “eggs” in one basket. You and your child may have your hearts set on one particular private high school. However, being open to any of the top-rated private high schools on this list will increase your chances of getting accepted into one of them.
