I only know from second hand but when I have mentioned it to people I get that look. My neighbor wasn't that impressed - though granted this was a few years ago that she was looking and things can change over time. Another parent with a child slightly older than mine gave me that look too. So my impression is sort of it's ok but not great. I don't know that you find lots of people gushing how great the school is etc. like you will find with some of the other places in the area. That said, there are things that work for one parent and situation that may not work for another so you should go on a tour and see what your gut feeling is, also ask if they are willing to provide you with parent references if you still feel unsure and can't find a current parent to tell you the pros and cons of the school. Sometimes, even within a school there could be that teacher or classroom that is amazing while the rest are okay or vice versa so speaking to a current parent could help.
