[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like ease of commute/location and not-super-small are your first criteria. (Both of these make sense to me fwiw - you have to narrow down somehow). This has given you a list of schools that all have very different student experiences. If I were you, I’d look at when all of their open house dates are for the fall (and when to sign up for them because some dates fill up). Also note that some schools change their bus schedules year to year so that is something to ask about once you have a better sense of where your DD is interested (for example, both Burke and Field added new stops this school year).

Are you coming from private or from public? The reason I ask is most privates have someone who helps with outplacement and they will usually have a really good sense of where your child stands a chance and where is a stretch (at least if they are good at their job). I also always suggest touring your zoned high school - for us there was one school that our child did not apply to because he said he thought he would prefer the public to it (it was a very small school) and that at least took one application and essay off his plate.

Good luck![/quote]
