Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Professional Childrens School's own list (Class of 2026), admitted: City University of New York (8), Manhattan School of Music (5), Pace (4), Mannes School of Music (3), New England Conservatory (3).
Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Composed from this page's data — every claim is backed by a number in the sections below.
