    By far the biggest influence will be your home. Have a look at inspection reports for the various schools and read between the lines.

    We are currently living abroad and we visited St Andrews, Wesley and St Columba's last winter. Location wise, St Columba's was the worst as there is no public transportation near by and we prefer to live not too rural. But in the end we chose St. Columba's. the school had an amazing science lab and library. Great atmosphere and very private setting was also different from other schools. Also they have an excellent leaving cert result and the information was available for us to see it whilst Wesley and St Andrew's managed to talk about it vaguely.

    what did they show you, what grades were achieved, or the numbers going on to university?

    Each pupils score n average in total. Of course names were blacked out not to be shown. A lot of them went to univ abroad n thats why the school is not shown in the national top schools list surveyed by the irish independent etc.
