Did I receive a friendly greeting? Were the office personnel, teachers and staff pleasant and helpful? Was the staff thoughtful in responding to my questions? Were my questions answered to my satisfaction? Did I like the answer I got when I asked, "What is most important in your school?" Did I see evidence that the teachers and administrators make an effort to respond to individual student needs? Is the building well maintained? Are the halls clean and attractive? Is student work displayed? Is it current? When visiting classrooms, do the students appear to be actively engaged and interested in their learning? Did the teachers and students show respect for one another and for the school property? Were the students courteous and self-disciplined in the classrooms, halls, lunchroom, school grounds, etc.? How will my child's specific needs/wants be served at this school? (Special education, physical education, computer lab, science lab, physical education, world languages, music, art, etc.) Will current or future funding issues affect the school's programs? What changes are anticipated for the next year(s)? Will funding cuts or program changes affect my child? Does the school have a written philosophy? Was I given a copy? Does it appear to reflect what I saw and heard? Was the lunchroom clean, attractive and orderly? Did it have a pleasant atmosphere during lunch? Was the food nutritious, appealing, and appropriately varied? Will I be able to participate in my child's education at the school as I had hoped? Were there after-school activities that my child(ren) will enjoy? When I put myself in my child's shoes, would I really like to attend this school?
