Some New York City parents opt for private schools in suburbs

From The New York Times: Confronted with competition to get their children into Manhattan’s top private schools and crowding and wait lists at many public schools, some New York City parents are seeking out suburban schools that typically offer lower tuition and easier admissions, as well as multiple playing fields and even nature preserves. Private schools in Westchester County, N.Y., and New Jersey are less expensive and less competitive in admissions, and some plan to provide buses to and from New York City.
