[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a huge problem with this.  You touring is disruptive to the students and their day.  Privates do it because they are selling themselves to parents but publics aren't in that position.[/quote]

This is OP, and I agree that they don't really have the staff available to give me a tour.  I have always been surprised when people suggest that.  What I object to are the DCUM posters who insist that "instead of relying on Great Schools ratings, you really need to go take a tour of the schools and see for yourself" when that isn't an option![/quote]

Which is why Great Schoools Scores matter. 
They matter people. 
We all know it
And your house values depend on it.[/quote]

Recent DCUM thread said GS scores were somehow reworked and some schools dropped in ways that posters thought made little sense.

GS really gets overrated here as some vastly important metric. It's one potential piece of information, that's all. So many posts where parents talk about their kids' school and say they like it and ignore the GS rating. You can factor in GS but I'd never base a choice on one source of information alone, OP.
