Title: Good Resource, But Not Enough By Itself
Product review: This is a good resource to add information to help you navigate the labyrinth of the NYC public school Middle School process. It seems as if the career bureaucrats at the DOE purposely make the process as confusing and annoying as possible. As far as getting through that system, this book offers little of value. Instead, it offers good details on the various schools which will complement what you find online. Some of the detail in this book is what I would call "scuttlebutt" but it is valuable information nonetheless.The organization of the book is fairly logical- by borough and by school. Some of the discussion on Middle Schools in general is quite valuable. The price is high, but to be expected for a book of this type with a very narrow readership. The bulk of school research is best done on the web, but this book fills in a lot of holes in that research. Well worth the price.
