"Maurice Frumkin is a former city Department of Education employee who now runs a consulting agency that helps families apply to schools.

“It’s a double-edged sword, no question about it — you’ve got a tremendous amount of choice, but at the same time, it becomes incumbent on families to do their homework and get the support necessary to make the right choices and know how to navigate the process,” Frumkin said.

And last year’s application process was marred by last-minute changes and confusion.

In the past, screened schools simply ranked students top-down. Last year, students with a wider range of grades were put in the same pool and randomly selected.

“Some people love that, and some people hate it. I think it’s safe to say that most people want pretty significant changes from how things worked last year — it was a mess,” Frumkin said."
