Norwood feedback

[Anonymous]

For families currently at Norwood, do the small classrooms mean the school is under enrolled for some grades? Would it be a good school to look at if we were considering switching to private school during a year that is not traditionally an entry year?

We’re trying to finalize the list of schools to consider for our rising kindergartener.

I had been planning to include Norwood on our list, but now I’ve been hearing that its academics are waning and class sizes are large (> 20 kids). Everyone has said the community is great and welcoming.

For families who’ve been there or are there, what do you like and not like about it? If you could do it over, what schools would you have sent your kids to for K-8?

I have a 3rd grader at Norwood. Where did you hear that class sizes are large?

In K-2, each class is roughly 20 kids, but there are 2 teachers.

Starting in 3rd, the classes are more like 15 kids.

We have been extremely happy.

The school is not under enrolled at all. It is a very desirable school.

It's not under enrolled in general but, as at any school, its worth a conversation with the admissions office to see if there are spots available for non entry years. You never know!
