严格来说，这个Hunter 就不是公立学校

https://epicenter-nyc.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-applying-to-hunter-college-elementary-school-for-2024/ HCES is not a public school. It is not governed by the Department of Education, does not follow NY State’s curriculum, is not subject to the public kindergarten admissions process, or required to jump at the whims of various mayoral administrations. For parents who are committed to sending their child to public school, HCES does not fit the bill.
