Brearley (k-12, not pre-prep) is the best at college and BS admissions. Brearley girls often transfer to AEDSCH b/c BS is less rigorous - - so one can have a life and stay at the top of the class.

But Brearley is out of the quest for OP, who has boys.

Some fo the top NYC day schs tend to be very diverse (in our case far more so than local public gifted or magnet prgms). At D’s class fully 20% of the class was non-White (9% URM) in the lowere shc and that number increased as the class moved to middle- and upper-shc, when kids travel alone. When D transferred to BS, her 8th grade class was 15-20% URM. There was also signif econom diversity.
