Any thoughts on these two schools. I really like 527. So far my impression of 198 G&T is less favorable. Pros and cons of each?

BK-Other G&T vs progressive ed
Hi there,
Do you guys have any opinion on progressive education and what you would prefer g&t or progressive ed? My kid is in a nice progressive opt out school in pre-k. People seem to love the school but I am concerned about middle school admission. I have a feeling that it is more about nice (really nice) community rather than education.
Then we got an offer to a district g&t school with a much better commute for us. People also love this school but test scores are pretty average. Somehow I expect kids in g&t classes to be more motivated and I think it is important. But maybe I am wrong?
Could you please share your opinions on progressive vs g&t? I need to pick someone's brain.

All NYC G&T Admissions for Grade 2
Question, parents. My rising first grader got a district G&T offer, which I think we'll accept. Do you think it's worthwhile to test for second grade to take a shot at a citywide school? Even if we get a 99 this time, I understand that the chances depend strictly on attrition at this point.
Are there any success stories out there?
Also, my other child will be testing for K. If he got a 99 and an offer to a citywide, would the older child get sibling priority with 97+ even if they're applying at the same time?

For the screened high schools that use 7th grade scores, do they take the average of all courses or only the core subjects like math/ELA/science?

All NYC NYC Gifted & Talented Test Prep Advise
For those of you prepping kids for city wide programs (aiming for 97+ percentile) do you start prepping early (late August/early September) consistently (16-20 weeks)? or do you do it more intense closer to the test date (10 weeks or so)? And have you gotten private tutors or prepped them yourself?

Hi all! My daughter is joining the G&T program 2nd grade this September and I am doing a little bit of prepping with her at home since she's coming from a school that's academically pretty weak and I worry that she might be a bit behind. Does anyone know generally what's covered in 2nd grade G&T classes (district program) in math and reading/ELA?

All NYC Changes in G&T admissions for siblings?
I heard through the grapevine there are discussions on changing the DOE G&T priority where before you just needed score at 97 and above for citywide (lower for district) and would get priority. Now it may be sibling 99s, then all 99s, sibling 98s then all 98s and so on. Has anyone heard anything of this nature?
Also hearing of potential admissions changes in citywide G&T schools to promote more diversity that may impact admissions for this coming year....

All NYC a) HS and MS WAITLISTS now a thing b) No more Round 2 either
de Blasio has announced that the public high school and public middle school admissions process is having two changes made:
1) You will still be selected by the algorithm as previous, but now you will also be automatically put on a waitlist for any higher choices in your priority list
2) No more Round 2
He claims this is being done because "Its actually going to be simple." I'm not so sure about that but here we have it.
Waitlists are supposedly going to be trackable in real time (why not with current waitlists then?).
It seems there is much ambiguity in the actual process, implementation and especially about the control by a school of the waitlist.

Queens My son lost his rightfully earned G&T seat at PS 144
I'm posting this in hope that I can reach out to whoever that can help my son get his hardly earned seat back in PS 144 G&T class.
After almost 6 months of tireless effort, some sacrifices, money and time my son got 98% in his G&T test. We applied PS 144 above PS 119 as priority on our application. At first he got PS 119 and we admitted him to that school and he was #1 on PS 144 wait list. As soon as the application dead line passed, PS 144 told us that a seat available so we admitted him in PS 144 and gave a courtesy call to PS 119 about it. We got all our information about supply list, transportation date, location, time, class number etc, from PS 144 and we were so happy until all those dream came true was denied.
On my son first day of school, we put him on the yellow bus and thought all was good. Later PS 144 called me and said my son is not suppose to be in PS 144. They said he should be in PS 119 saying that PS 119 pulled my son out of PS 144 list and put it on their list. We were shocked and went to talked to the Principal of PS 144 and my son was in the office room and looked so upset and later he told us it's because there was no name, place for him in the room 317 that he was assigned in the beginning.
Talked with the Principal and found out that someone from PS 119 pulled out my son from PS 144 for no reason, without parent's acknowledgement, and PS 144 filled up the seat with next in line wait list without even asking us. I can't believe how a person has the access/ability to just take a child out of a school without any kind of supporting documents such as "application forms" and also how could PS 144 just let go of their student without checking reason/support evidence of why one of their students was pulled out. We were literally shocked. My son was so proud that he worked hard and achieved the seat and now all is shattered within moments.
After talking with Principal for over 2 hours, we were cornered with two options, (i) PS 119 G&T or (ii) PS 144 general education class. They said they will wait and see if any seat comes up in PS 144 G&T program and that my son will get it when available. To me, that is ridiculous that basically my son was put in the wait list again at a time when almost all the students are already in place across the district. I had no choice but to stick with PS 144 because PS 119 is out of my district and further from home which would make us harder since we also have younger daughter going to pre-k and have to drop off/ pick up every day.
I talked to G&T enrollment center and filed a complaint (the ES enrollment email as well), which they probably talked to PS 144 principal and resulted in the same situation. We tried to reach school district 28 superintendent but was only able to talk with office staff and after long heated conversation I was basically told that this is something out of their hands, because it's not their school district fault even though the victim, my son, is from their school district. They offered us G&T seat in other school that were lower (no offence) but we didn't take because my son already earned his seat in PS 144 and it was take away.
We have done everything we can think of. We are just so sad that after all the time, money, effort, sacrifices spent , my child seat was lost. He was so proud that he did it and now all lost. My family migrated into united states 3 years ago. It took 14 years for us to finally get into unite states as legal permanent resident because we respected the immigration policy and law and did the right way to come here. The same with the G&T application, we gave everything we got for my son to get this seat, we followed all rules and guidelines determined by NYDOE, did it the right way but now all is lost? It's totally UNFAIR to us especially for my son.
So please help me on how to escalate this issue since the district superintendent office it's out of their hand, where can i go to? How to contact G&T program director directly? My son is currently attending Gen Ed in PS 144 because of no choice and for the reasons I have written above.
