We have had multiple children at the LFNY for the last decade. I regret it and I would not send my children here again.
The Lycee succeeds in one thing. Your kids will be bilingual in French and English. As a secondary matter, I imagine that if you want your kids to go to University in France or more broadly in Europe their Baccalaureate is likely more familiar to overseas admissions staff than a traditional US HS degree.
It fails in so many other ways. Basics like creative/technical writing and math are taught in the "French system" which does not translate to practical skills for success in US college admissions or American professional life. The administration is aloof and nonresponsive. Extra-curricular activities (particularly in the arts) are lacking and provided at the whims of faculty.
If you are here from a Francophone country for a few years, send your kids, and they will have an easy transition back. Otherwise, stay away.

With tuition close to 40k, this school awards themselves too much credit for being rather average compared to Manhattan's other private schools. Many of their teachers are passionate about what they do, however, others seem less interested in the success of their students and more in doing the bare minimum. When I attended this school, I felt uncared for because of its inconsiderate system. While many private NYC schools uphold the value of helping their students, this one values harshness. What I mean by this is any student can get their phone taken from them (to be picked up by a parent at the end of the day) for using it in the hallway to simply check their schedule, given an hour of detention for a small mishap on the extensive dress-code, humiliated in front their class for missing homework or being a minute late, and etc.. (I could continue). Along with this, the immense workload (especially in high school) is jaw-dropping and doesn't pay off in college admissions.
I ❤️ the LFNY! I’m an Argentinian mother of two beautiful girls (13 and 8 years old) who where born and raised in Rome, Italy. We arrived to NYC almost four years ago and fortunately they had this amazing opportunity of perusing their studies at the LFNY. I think the school combines the best of the French and American education, the best of both worlds! As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more! This school is the best gift I could ever give to them!
