| How supportive is the school if you decide you want to apply to other schools for 3rd/4th or 6th grade? |

| In any given year, Norwood typically has a few students leave to go to a single-sex school at third grade and/or fourth grade and then again at sixth/seventh grade. A few here or there leave to go to another co-ed school. There really isn't much attrition. The school helps with non-eighth exmission to the extent that they fairly fill out recommendations, make deadlines, and support the child in the spring as he/she starts thinking about leaving friends, etc. Their heavy exmission efforts focus on eighth grade placement. At eighth grade, they have a fantastic and effective process with a support structure for both student and parents. |

| That seems eminently reasonable. I was just wondering if they were less than supportive of students who want to transfer out, given some of the recent posts about other schools. Thanks. |

| OP, why are you leaving? Just curious. |

| I don't know that we will--we may stay all the way through. But it's a long commute. |
