[quote=Anonymous]Not saying you dismiss a school based on one interaction in 7th grade but I do think coaches should factor into the equation. Yes, they come and go and not all coaches are amazing communicators BUT part of finding overall fit for our family included finding coaches/athletics we felt okay with for DSs. Agree with PP who said find the academic fits first then start looking at other factors on your list that are important to you. If that’s sports, look at the overall athletic department mentality/approach and requirements to see if that lines up with what your kids need. In terms of getting a sense of what coaches are like—go to games and watch how they interact with players/refs, follow them on SM, go to work outs if they offer them, talk to current families about their etc. And at the end of the day, they will have to make the team—or they won’t and that’s part of HS.
