We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Two of my children attended Briarcliff Manor schools throughout their pre-college years. It's big enough to qualify for a large schools' diversity of educational/sports/social opportunities, yet small enough that everyone will most often see familiar faces walking the halls. My daughter is now a sop...
