    I think the thread title and your post are two different questions. I don’t know if there’s an answer to which is “best”; I’m sure they all have their maalos and perhaps chesronos, and which is best for your son is impossible for anyone to answer without knowing your son.

    Discuss it with his rebbeim.

    what does he want and what is he like? I am familiar with yeshivas darchei torah and yeshiva of far rockaway, and can recommend both, as well as the chafetz chaim yeshivah in queens. Your screen name (yfr) suggests you’ve already made up your mind, though…

    HAFTR and DRS have pretty good basketball teams if that is the sole deciding factor. Personally I would send your son to Rambam.

    Great Neck North, but not religious enough, and not really in 5-towns, unless you redefine 5-towns to 6-towns.

    Mesivta Ateres Yaakov (formerly of South Shore Yeshiva) is also a good school. It is entirely dependent on what you are looking for. Some of the schools are more intense in their Talmudic studies, others give reasonably nearly equal time to secular classes. And others are extremely strong in the secular department, as well as very Tziyoni.

    I know HAFTR boys who became real masmidim, and I know Darchei boys who did not. There are so many factors involved. You should attend all the Open House meetings for the Yeshivos and see what appeals to you. Then speak to other parents in your son’s Yeshivah and try to get some more specific feedback.
