Graduation Rates: High graduation rates are typically reflective of a school’s ability to support students through their educational journey, indicating strong academic and administrative frameworks. 3. Diversity in Schools: Schools with diverse student populations offer enriched cultural experiences and promote inclusivity. This diversity aids in preparing students for a global society and fosters a broad-minded community atmosphere. 4. School Budget and Resources: Adequate funding is crucial, influencing the quality of academic resources, facilities, and extracurricular opportunities available to students. A well-funded school is better positioned to offer comprehensive educational experiences. 5. Academic and Extracurricular Programs: Programs such as advanced coursework, sports, and arts are key to holistic student development. Evaluating these offerings can help align school choices with a child’s interests and strengths. 6.
