Even now that I'm in my late 20s, I still occasionally visit the school now and then. Fields of Green holds many precious memories for me and provided me with life long friendships. Unlike most schools, this one taught us skills that we would one day need like time management, responsibility, & critical thinking. I always recommend Fields of Green to anyone who will listen.

Both of my children are in middle school and have been at Hackley since Kindergarten. Although many…read morepeople think the curriculum is rigorous, the students are well prepared for the academics in university and are able to organize and perform well on their own. The campus is beautiful but most importantly the teachers are amazing educators who genuinely care for the students and often have their own children in the school. My husband and I could not be happier with Hackley.

I contacted the Hackley Alumni Relations Office for a reason I do not feel like getting into now on…read moreyelp. It was all innocent enough. I spoke with Margie, in charge of Alumni Connections who told me to call back on Friday when she would have more time to speak with me and handle my issue. I remember feeling as if it can be handled right then and there when I explained it to her, and it wasn't so complicated. In fact the whole thing would have taken all but three minutes no matter how we resolved it. I left not one but two voice messages for her on that Friday at her request and she never called back. This was two weeks ago yesterday. I do not think she forgot and I don't think she is that busy. If she forgot to call back or didn't have time, then she can't handle her job very well. I feel as if it was done purposely though. If she does not want or is unable to cater to someone, there are more professional ways of handling it than telling a person to call in order not to call. I was surprised to see that such a fine institution as Hackley, hires staff that do not represent the extraordinary excellence they pride everyone else in their school in having; teachers, students and families. I think Hackley should have higher standards when screening out for certain roles such as Director of Alumni Engagement to better set an example for their students on how to interact with people.

My daughter is a rising junior in high school. Instead of taking one of those large SAT/ACT prep…read moreclasses, we decided to sign her up for one-on-one tutoring sessions on ACT with Huntington in Ridgewood, NJ. It was an individualized program which we like. To start, they gave her mock tests for both SAT and ACT. Based on mock test results, and an analysis of her skills, they decided she would have a better chance for a high score on ACT than SAT. My daughter was able to finish the ACT with a near perfect score after only 25 hours of tutoring. We are so happy with our decision. I would recommend the Ridgewood center to anyone who is looking for individualized SAT/ACT tutoring.

Manhattan Private School Advisors is a SCAM. Save your money. Its not worth the $20,000 fee, or…read moreeven $500. I'm ashamed to admit we contracted MPSA. The owner, Amanda Uhry, doesn't help you get into any school. She has no connections, no affiliations and no relationships. Its a lie when she says she can't speak to any schools on your behalf. She doesn't care about your family or child or where you actually get into. We met with her ONCE. She sat us down and opened up Victoria Goldman's Guide to Private Nursery Schools. She simply listed the schools nearby that we showed an interest in. She doesn't guide you to which school will be best for your child. She never meets with your family or observes your child. She won't even come to meet you in your home or office. She never followed up with us after admission notifications to see which schools we had been accepted to. All she did was edit some essays, but our essays were good to begin with, so she didn't help there either. Amanda emphasizes how incredibly busy she is and how competitive the market is, but has no personal knowledge of the current year's admissions processes. She's a great marketer of self. She feeds on your fear of not being able to get into a proper school, when the reality is, if you do the proper research and keep your family's best interests at heart, something will work out. Amanda pushes a numbers game. She will urge you to apply to as many schools as possible, because that increases your odds of getting in somewhere, anywhere. It doesn't matter whether or not its the best fit for your child and family. If you get in somewhere, anywhere, she can boast a 100% success rate. Do your own research. Join the Parents League. Buy the Victoria Goldman book. Know which schools to call the day after Labor Day. Attend all open houses and meetings. There are respectable placement specialists out there who do have relationships with schools who do not cost a fortune. Normal consultation fees cost $100-$200. Still expensive, but reasonable. Manhattan Private School Advisors is a farce and I'm shocked that no one else has reviewed it in all these years.

Manhattan Private School Advisors is a godsend! Our family was late to the admissions process…read morebecause my husband was transferred from London to New York. Amanda Uhry, the founder, met with us multiple times to ensure that we understood every aspect of the admissions process. The firm carefully went over every school option, edited parent statements (essays), prepared us for school tours, admissions interviews, and our children's roles in the admissions process. Private school admissions in New York is a complicated and very challenging experience, but Manhattan Private School Advisors broke the admissions process down into completely manageable segments for us. To our delight, our sons were accepted at the schools of our choice. We are in fact working with the firm for our oldest son's college admissions process. I would highly recommend Amanda Uhry and Manhattan Private School Advisors to any parent seeking quality educational counseling in New York and elsewhere.

The monitors are extremely rude and unprofessional. They curse and scream at kids who just want to get a snack during the day. You aren't allowed to do absolutely anything. You cannot leave or get water DURING class, meaning you must do that during passing period, but if you are late you get extreme punishments like being banned to park on the school. Absolutely horrendous. Please try and get your kids to a better and safer school like Lakeland. Panas administrators are uncontrollably irresponsible. Fix it. Do better.
