Might want to look into some of the charter schools in the city. Some of them are really starting to get excellent reputations.
From where your located the easiest ways to get uptown to the heights are two ways. It's a bit of a pain, the 1st is the easiest, because it's all train.
You take the 4/5/6 down to 42, catch the shuttle, then head uptown on either 1 or A.
The second way is to take the 4/5/6 up to 125th, at 125th you can take a Bus, if I remember correctly it's the 101 bus. This bus goes into the Washington Heights area.
It would be great if in the future, the MTA made up a crosstown shuttle uptown, maybe at 125th.
