[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the replies thus far.

It drives me crazy that I can find orders of magnitude more detailed information online about phones and cars than I can about school.

The point I’ve been trying to make to my SO is that I feel our child will have a better chance of getting into a good HS and/or college by sending him to SSFS vs our local public school here in MoCo (Sequoyah). The thing is, besides a few posts like this one and some data scraped from niche.com, I have very little “solid” data.

Ask me (or anyone) to compare an RAV to a CRV, however, and I could spit out gigabytes of data. Like I said, drives me nuts.[/quote]

One of the problems with finding info about schools is that even if every account you read online and every person you talk to has a great experience and thinks the school is awesome, it still might not be awesome for your kid. And that goes for public and private schools. Car ratings and experiences are much more objective.

If you're looking at college acceptances as a metric, good luck with that too. The better way to look at it is how well your child will be prepared for high school/college, and what sort of preparation for HS, college, and life you think is most important. Then look at your school choices through that lens.

I've only had kids in upper school at SSFS and have been happy. [/quote]
