Reply to comment by Blecher_onthe_Hudson in Where do students attend after PS16? by consuellabanana

All the families we know that moved out, moved out when the kids were very young. Pretty much everyone in my daughter's class, and the classes of other kids we know in different schools stayed and are now going to HS.

Pretty much our experience with a few exceptions. We knew one family that moved when their eldest didn't get into one of the magnet high schools.

We have zero regrets about staying in Jersey City. Our kids were extremely well prepared for college and had multicultural experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere. In fact one of my few regrets is my kids as teens did not take advantage of the proximity to New York City to the extent that I had hoped! My son would hop on a train to Harriman instead of a train into The Village!
