Educational experts tend to agree that trying to rank schools, using whatever parameters, is questionable. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Each school is unique with specific attributes. No universal yardstick exists to measure schools that have evolved independently. Instead, ask yourself how well suited the school is to your child and your family's priorities. A so-called top school may not be the best fit for you.
When considering schools, ask current students and parents about their experience. You can also post a questions in this community, it's open for all visitors to comment on.

I'm considering to send my 6yr old boy to a montessori school in Vancouver. The school I've found is either 'Westside Montessori' or 'Roots&Wings Montessori', which means it is not in the list of the schools here this website. Does it mean I've chosen a wrong one? The school I've found in Vancouver is very small size, only 22 students in total (elementary only) and doesn't have any facilities... not even a small office where I could sit and talk with the principal.
