I really think you have to see any school you are seriously considering. Nothing in the brochures, on the internet or in any chat rooms will give you as clear a picture of the school and, equally importantly, of the students. You can eliminate some schools based on your child’s interests, academic record and test results, and preferences as to size of school, geographic location, single sex vs. co-ed, etc. Sometimes you can see a school without having an interview at that time. This may help you piggyback more schools in a limited visit if you are in the area and already scheduled to see other schools. But you really should see the schools.
