Greenpoint Brooklyn
DH & I are considering moving to Greenpoint BK... Over near Manhattan Avenue...
Does anyone know anything about the SCHOOLS in that area?
DS will be going to 5th grade next year but it doesn't seem like the middle schools in the area are that great.

Re: Greenpoint Brooklyn
I lived in Green Point until I was 6'ish 
I do still have some family there and my aunt sent her 2 DC's to Catholic school (they have since long graduated)
There was a website for school ratings, which I can't seem to find....
Maybe this one would have some useful information:

Re: Greenpoint Brooklyn
NY Magazine rated Greenpoint the NYC neighborhood with the best schools.
"Another surprise—and for a surprising reason: Greenpoint has some of the best public schools in the city, achieving high test scores and parent-satisfaction ratings, in spite of (or perhaps because of) its small population. "
here is the link:
http://nymag.com/realestate/neighborhoods/2010/65374/index3.html
DH and I are talking of moving, but we are looking for a house that it is in pretty good shape, and there are just tons and tons of condos/coops

Re: Greenpoint Brooklyn
I used to teach near Greenpoint and have friends who live there. There are some amazing schools there.
The best elementary school is PS 31 but 132 and 110 are good as well. IS318 is a superb middle school. FM if you have any questions.
