NYC parents look to move children from public to private schools after Mamdani win

Following socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral election, some parents are already taking steps to remove their children from city schools.

School placement consultant Christopher Rim explained to the New York Post that at least 23 clients have contacted him seeking to relocate their children to private middle and high schools in other states. 

“Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani’s victory, I got three messages from families looking to move,” Rim said.

He noted that some families had been preparing for months, with half a dozen clients relocating to Connecticut in anticipation of a Mamdani win.
