The quality of the public schools in Manhattan varies widely by district. Moreover, the complexity of the admissions process differs by school district. For example, District 2 has a number of terrific zoned middle schools in which parents who live in that neighborhood can simply register for the spring. Although District 3 has some of the best middle schools in the City, there are no zoned schools and parents must apply to middle schools.
