Reader ReviewsI'm a consumate researcher. Throughout my son's school years, nursery school to college, I've been on a quest for the best solutions and custom fit for them. They have attended a combination of local public, magnate and private schools. I tend to research schools thoroughly, initially throwing out a big net and gradually refining my search. In my present quest for a private day or Boarding School for my 8th grader, this book has become my bible. It is not the complete record it could be. It is the only book in this category that I have found. I would included more categories in the cross-reference section. I would also include a list of schools by state. There are schools I was interested in that were not included here. All in all, it has been my main source, followed by other parents recommendations, internet research and school fairs. I would not want to be on this search without this book in hand.
