Choose the right school for a specific child by weighing what actually matters to them and your family — not just rankings. Use when asked how to choose a school, compare schools for my kid, which school is best, or help me decide on a school. Produces a priorities profile for this child, a comparison of the options on the factors that matter (fit, teaching, environment, logistics, cost), the questions to ask and things to observe on visits, a weighted decision, and a note that a good fit beats a high ranking.

# School Choice Decision

The highest-ranked school isn't automatically right for *your* kid — a shy child, a kid who needs structure, or one with a particular passion may thrive somewhere a league table rates lower. This clarifies what matters for this specific child and family, compares the real options against that, and gives you a weighted decision plus the questions to actually ask on a visit.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A child-and-family priorities profile** — this child's needs and temperament, plus family constraints (logistics, cost, values)
- **A comparison on what matters** — the options across fit, teaching quality, environment/culture, support, extracurriculars, logistics, and cost — not rankings alone
- **Visit questions & observations** — what to ask staff and notice about the students, classrooms, and culture
- **A weighted decision** — the options scored against *your* priorities, with the trade-offs made explicit
- **A fit-over-ranking reminder** — where a lower-ranked school may genuinely be the better choice for this child
