Parent decision
How to choose a school is like how to choose a partner. It's only way to choose is visiting a school while it is in full flow. Let starts with facts and figures by all means. It would helps to be well briefed, you can put together a list of crucial questions and be able to eliminate the clearly unsuitable.
Try to talk to teachers at schools, talk to other parents - reputation matters and usually has some basis in fact, though you should watch out for obvious prejudices (I personally noticed people in Hong Kong tend to like traditional famous schools because there are many parents keen to send their children to attend those schools). Talk to the local shopkeepers - they see the children's wild side.
I prefer you keep an open mind. What will matter is how well a school suits your child and you - not easy to judge from a distance. Some selective schools do very well by the borderline child, others freeze them out. Some religious schools are stricter than a seminary, others inculcate an extraordinary love of life and argument.
Be realistic about how wide your choices really are. Most of all, what are the realistic chances of your child getting in to each of the schools you are looking at? You need to understand there are all sorts of variations and complications - special rules for religious schools and academies, banding or selection by ability, etc - overlaid on a basic set of rules that can vary from the helpful to the poisonous.
I hope you find the guide useful in at least starting you through the maze of finding the best school for your child - the most important decision a parent can make.
