[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at your offerings in math, science, and language. How do they compare to well-regarded public schools in the area? Are your alumni getting in to the better math, science, and language options in 9th grade? A survey of recent alumni will be enlightening. Look also at your sports and activities. Those are a chance to provide quality and prep your kids for high school. [b]Pick a sport or two where a small school can shine and maybe compete against other schools or clubs. Little kids are fine with pretty casual DIY sports but bigger kids want to sink their teeth into something more demanding[/b]. Are you treating your middle schoolers like tall elementary school kids? Or are you treating them like the future 9th graders that they are?[/quote] Every kid who wants to be serious plays club sports. To the extent that high schools recruit, they look at club players not CYO or independent school leagues. [/quote]
