[quote=Anonymous]I want to echo something the PP said about talking to current families, even ones that are in your social circle. There are many, many reasons that current families—including those you’re friends with—won’t tell you as much as you think they might or be as unvarnished as you think they will be. To be sure, many families really like the school they chose, or at least like it well enough, so I’m not saying anyone is being dishonest. However, as someone who talked to many current families of schools where our child was admitted, I can say in hindsight that most of those conversations weren’t terribly revealing, even though I asked some hard questions. At bottom, once you know where you get in, you really will have to just take a leap of faith as to which one you think will work best for your kid. No one knows for sure how something is going to work out before it unfolds. School is an experience good. [/quote]
