First I looked at their websites. I was looking for a progressive school. Then I made a list of schools I liked. Third, took a tour through the three schools I liked most. I asked some questions I thought of ahead of time such as; What is average number of years the teachers have stayed with the school? How much free time do the children get each day? Etc. I wrote some notes down. And placed the schools in order of preference. I also thought about how each school would "feed" students into grammar school. Some have better connections then others. The final issue is the culture of each school. I want to choose the school that has the right school culture for my dc and our family.
