IMHO - smaller is better when it comes to schools - especially in the lower grades.. Smaller class size makes a huge difference for everyone involved. I'd want to know the teacher to student ratio at any school considered.
The director of my son's school, which we love, tells everyone "We're not better, we're smaller." The student to teacher ratio at DS's school is 10:1, so the teachers are able to give each child a truly individualized education. It's like having a tutor, but in a group environment, and it's working wonderfully for us so far.
