[quote=Anonymous]here are a few questions your should ask of both schools - 1) how do the children perform on ERBs (specific percentile rank) by subject, 2) how do teacher salaries compare to other schools - if they are paying mean salaries, dont go there, 3) when was the last time they laid off a teacher (shows they dont let slackers stick around), 4) how do they evaluate teachers and how often, 5) what is their teacher hiring process like (you want to get a sense that it is a thorogh, rigourous process) 6) what is their 5 year plan for the school - will they be growing (shrinking) # of students and teachers, adding new subjects, adding facilities etc 7) get the results of parent and student satisfaction surveys (if they dont have one dont go there) You are paying $30k per year. Dont be afraid to ask these questions and then based on the answers you can make an better informed determination.[/quote]
