I’d also add, if your daughter has found that some schools aren’t a fit, to take them off the list. We knew that one school was going to be a horrible “fit” and so took it off the list despite most of the application having been done. We did add another school which was a better match.
My kid told me about some $$$ sneakers. But the kid stood out so much ( apparently others knew about the cost of these sneakers) that they are no longer worn as much. Kids school is very laid back and no fancy clothes. But there was a kid running with $1,500 sunglasses on. Apparently he got teased a lot.
The girls and boys at my kids school mainly wear sweat pants and leggings. They dress up a lot for outings and that’s about it. There are a lot of Canadian goose jackets however. Kids don’t seem to be that fashion focused.
Dress is an element of fit. A small one, but tells you about what kids value. It definitely varied from school to school.
