Hey everyone. Has anyone been dead set on certain schools, but then changed your minds after you went to various open houses?

Some schools unexpectedly wowed me. Others put me off with a take it or leave it attitude, refusing to answer questions until we actually got in.

Lee moved up. ITS moved down. CHML moves down by not offering an OH any time from mid-Jan onwards and not answering my emails about visiting at some other time convenient to them.

Some schools that do great open houses are just meh to attend. And vice versa.

Langley moved up. I liked the principal and the socioemotional stuff.

Dead set, no. But I've definitely had my mind changed by open houses. Francis-Stevens moved up, for example, while Two Rivers moved down.

Seeing the facilities mattered to me. It is good to reality-check their claims of ample outdoor/gym space and parking options.

Really liked Stoddert and Mann. Didn't care for Eaton and Lamb.

Unless you are IB, why do you go to the Open Houses for these schools? Shooting for the tiny (1-2 number possibility of upper elementary?) Don't waste an OOB PK4 slot on Stoddert, Mann and Eaton?
