[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people speak of best fit I'm often puzzled by exactly what that means. [b]How can you really tell without actually enrolling?[/b] When you tour a school isnt it just a snap shot in one day of the life of that school. I have toured schools and was underwhelmed. However, after talking to other who toured who had a different reaction I realized that I didn't see everything and my opinon was based on a one time limited experience. On the other hand, I have also toured schools and loved it. Yet after talking to others I found out things that didn't come up in the tour.

I suppose some schools have a reputation for being a certain way, but I find it difficult to let that be the reason I decide against a school. Isn't it completely possible my experience will different?[/quote]

PP's point( bolded above) is very true.

When we toured Beauvoir I loved the science and art rooms and the school population seemed very diverse and varied, but the blanket stereotypes about the place were a bit concerning.

" country clubby " and the like

Actually, the school exceeded my first impression by FAR.

My DC LOVED his years there and I found that the parent community was 99% very very nice people. Open, interesting to talk to and get to know and very welcoming.

We are not wealthy. In fact,  DC  receives FA, but we found the other parents a real plus to the whole experience and I could not have possibly guessed that from the parent tour[/quote]
