What else should I consider?
Other factors also play an important role in making a good school choice.  Ask yourself the following questions.

What applications or entrance tests are required?

Transportation

  • How will my child be transported?
  • How long is the bus ride?
  • What about transportation for after-school activities?
  • How will the distance from school affect our family?

Distance

  • Will the distance affect my involvement (as a parent) in  the school?
  • How will the distance from home affect my child’s friendships and participation in church and other community activities?

Communication  Does the school have both formal and informal means of communicating with parents?

Parent Involvement  What opportunities exist for you to participate in decision making, planning, fund raising and volunteer activities?

What child care arrangements will be necessary for young children?
