Try this:
go to urbabnbay.com and search for ps234 ps41 ps6 ps3 ps199
This will get you a lot of discussions on the best public schools.
There seems to be consensus on some of those schools plus others which you will find with that search.
I think this is the best way to get a lot of opinions in a short time in a manner (normal UB histrionics notwithstanding of course) that will help you narrow down the list.
oh, and the site is urbanbaby.com - also search for 87 (not known for being as strong as some others in math/english scores, but very much loved by parents and students alike)
