Advice on Yonkers Montessori Academy and living in Yonkers (Pearl River: house, public school)

[Canty]

Hi All,
Just looking for advice, we are planning to relocate from Ireland in July and we are trying to decide between Pearl River and Yonkers. The house we will potentially live in will be beside YOnkers Montessori Academy, can anyone tell me what it is like? I know that we have to register to get a school assigned to us, but can I ask to for my children to be placed in this school?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-)

I forgot to ask about registering for PK in this public school, are places guaranteed or is it a lottery system like in other areas? New to the American education system it is very different to here in IReland.

Well if you move to Pearl River, you won't have to worry about placement.
