Student visit: How do parents find out whether the school is a good fit or not?

My son will be doing some private school visits this summer (we just moved here). Some gen ed, some SN schools. A few hours / day visits.
Considering he's been having a lot of transitions lately (moving, different camps/schools), I would imagine it'd be difficult for him to be left at different schools within a period of 2 weeks for his school visits. How do I know whether the school is a good fit or not? Would it be reasonably to request to stay and see him, even just for the first hour? Or give the teacher one-page of feedback notes? |

| Some schools will allow it and some don't. We visited several schools together. One had us come back and the asst. director spent about 20 minutes with my child alone - it was strange as I specifically asked and thought we were coming back to see how he did in the class. Another, we did a second visit together and the teacher talked to him. Another, which we choose, insisted we leave him for a few hours, we did and it was the winner. I wanted my child to spend some time with the teacher in the classroom to see what was best. |
