[quote=Anonymous]Prospective parents of any school (MVCS or any other) need to talk to the people that know that school: the neighbors with kids who attend, the teachers, the principal, the parents on the playground after school, the parents at PTA meetings and school events...

The parents who chose to have their kids attend a different school, or chose to move to a different neighborhood, undoubtably have valid reasons for making their decisions, but, more often then not, their knowledge of a particular school is based on a first impression, rumors, playground chatter, a bad vibe on a bad day, a preconceived notion, etc.- but in the end, they don't really know that much about the school because their kids never went there.

Talk to the parents whose kids attend, who know what happens day to day, who know the teachers. Ask what they like, what they'd change, what their kids are doing - and you will have much more accurate information to help you decide whether a school is a good fit for your kid.[/quote]
