Two good responses so far, although not all Part 61 schools are good just because they are small. As JEP said, do your research thoroughly, make phone calls, talk to students, talk to the mechanics who work on the planes, talk to CFIs etc.
Get on overall impression from each school you are interested in from daily operations to CFI happiness to student happiness. No school can guarantee you can get X rating for Y hours. It just doesn't happen. Some students will come in right at mins, others will be higher. Fact of training. Good luck!
