The third grade is a problem.

Third grade at Norwood is not great either.

I believe PPs attributing the increase in the academic requirements in the third grade (which could be painful for the little ones) to the school. Just saying...

The mass exodus before and after 3rd grade at WES tells the story. Some may leave for academic reasons, but most just don't care for the teaching methods.

For the social climbers, WES has better celebrity parents.

Another happy WES family here. I also recommend talking with the school directly for stats.

+1
The current third grade is so large that they had to add a third homeroom class. 4th seems big too.

I am happy to hear that the mass exodus from WES myth is debunked...

Yes, and those "celebrity" parents could surely get their kids into any school in town. Yet they choose to stay with WES. To me, at least, that says something about the school.

I wonder why people say WES is not for boys? My DS loves WES! Third grade has the most students, so the drop out rumor is just that, a rumor. My DS came to WES when the new head of school Mr. Duncan came, and I believe he's done a great job! I love how every teacher seems to know my DS, and that he isn't just another student. WES really is a family, and I appreciate that. There's a great balance of strong academics, physical education, and the arts which is truly pleasing. Good luck on your decision!

Let's see if you'll see the same thing by 6th grade. Lot's of WES boys in the past leave for other schools.
