What questions do you ask the school by an interview?
what questions do you ask when asking someone who sends to the school?

I would do my research before I go to the school.

Unfortunately, many schools have the upper hand and if they think you're asking too many questions they may think something's wrong with your child

Find out what type of parent body there it is, how the school deals with problems, and what their academic standards are.

Coming from someone who is hanhala ( and a parent !!):
Asking someone who sends:
1. Ask about the administration! How they handle situations, how they communicate with parents
2. What is the "vibe" in school? Warm? Caring? Academic? Students happy to be there?
3. What makes this school unique in comparison to like schools in the community?
4. Describe your child and your hashkafos. Is it a fit for that school?
At an interview:
1. Ask about other parents/families who send- do you align hashkafically?
2. Inquire about academics, extra- curricular, special ed services, class size
3. Ask about staff.
Hatzlacha!

We asked to visit the last grade (like, when we were looking into schools for preschool, we still asked to sit in on the 8th grade, which was the eldest grade in those schools). It was important for us to see what the 'final product' is that the school is aiming for, what is the curriculum they are striving towards, even if we our kids are currently far from those grades. For some schools the differences (curiculum/culture/etc) only become pronounced in the upper grades.
