您好：这四所学校从学术和STEM上，肯定是Horace Mann是最好的，该校的资源很棒。Spence的艺术和领导力项目不错，大学升学走向也很好。

HM和Dalton都是纽约乃至全美的顶尖学校，学术升学等相当，HM的高管更好一些，Dalton招办对孩子的选择更注重个性化，两校STEM都不错，Dalton的地理位置略好一些。至于B和S这顶级女校，更趋于传统，尤其S，升学都很好，B和S对于女孩领导力的培养优于混校。首先要问孩子喜欢混校还是女校，然后在进一步选择。

您好，这四所都是纽约顶尖的走读学校。其中两所混校两所女校，如果不排斥女生学校的话，建议选择Spence，学校重视STEM学科，女校又拥有重视艺术的传统。喜欢STEM的女生，在女校的发展机会和自信心建设会比去混校要好一些。同时女校也会更重视培养女孩子的领导能力。
如果喜欢混校的话，相对来讲，Dalton会更合适喜欢STEM和艺术的女生。

家长您好！一口气提出好的学校的名字，这样要写一大篇幅哈。好吧，学生就读过最有发言权，我们听听一位来自HM的学生的口述吧。

After Horace Mann, college was easy. At 13 and 14 I learned organizational, time management, and study skills that many of my peers were still struggling with in their senior year of college. Admittedly, I was pretty miserable while these skills were being drilled into me. However, over the long term, the work ethic I learned at Horace Mann has been extremely valuable. Horace Mann has a strong academic program in the humanities and hard sciences. Performance and visual arts are views as 'fun' activities rather than real subjects. This distinction says a lot about the student body. HMer's are interested in traditional styles of teaching and learning. Anything that seems in anyway 'alternative' or new aged is quickly dismissed as fluff. Generally, classes are 12-20 students. In certain subjects, such as foreign language, classes are often as small as 5. On average, I expected an hour of work per subject each night. Since most students take 5 classes that meet 4 times a week, 4-5 hours a night is a reasonable expectation. However, I also remember having courses with only 10 pages of reading a night. The ninth grade writing program is definitely a highlight. This program gave me a solid grounding in expository writing. You can never write TOO well, so you might as well start-out writing a bit well. 找机会再写吧。

Horace Mann。声誉比其他的好不少。
