Parent questions at school visits?

We didn’t outright ask the question “would our son be a good fit” most of the time, the first few things they said were re-caps of their interview with him and then something like “I think he’d fit in nicely here.” Or “I see him doing well here” one even told us what classes he’d probably be taking.
However, one (where we had all pretty much decided on the tour it was not a good fit) - the interviewer never said that. He said he did well in the interview, he was mature, knew what he wanted and epressed himself better than most kids his age, but he never said anything about him in relation to fit and the school. Clearly, it was obvious he was not a good fit there.

The applications are hard work and expensive. If you are not getting good feedback I would absolutely ask the question.
