There are a number of things which a person should look for
in choosing a flight school.
   1.  School reputation.  A bad reputation is normally 
       earned, as is a good reputation.
   2.  School facilities.  A flight instructor who teaches
       part-time may be good, but what are the facilities
       for ground school and aircraft?  (Note:  as a part-
       time instructor, I use the local Pizza Hut for ground
       school, and a local flight school's airplanes)
   3.  Are you compatible with your prospective flight 
       instructor?  Remember, a 2-place airplane is a poor 
       place to be if you don't like the other person in
       the airplane.
   4.  How expensive is the school?
   5.  How clean is the equipment?
   6.  How is the prospective customer treated?
   7.  What schedule conflicts exist for aircraft and 
       instructors?
If each of these questions are answered to your satisfaction, you
probably have found a good flight school.

Good luck
