Deciding between 4 very different schools

Anonymous
Norwood
Mater Dei
Bullis
and Landon

Thoughts? We are not Catholic, by the way.

3 of the names are great, congrats. Can't go wrong there.

1, not so much.

Which one not so much? Bullis?

Mater Dei has terrible facilities and a very out dated academic curriculum.

if your not catholic, scratch out Mater Dei.

If you want to send DS to a school for the next 6 years, look at Landon or Bullis.

If you want to do middle school and then go through the admissions process again in 3 years, look at Norwood.

Thanks leaning toward landon it's my son's favorite and then hopefully we are done until college. Norwood is great just not excited about going through again for 9th.

Norwood's middle school is excellent. There's a fantastic team to help you with high school placement. Gives you another opportunity to apply to different high schools, and if by then, Landon or Bullis are the obvious choices, then you go to one of them.

I would not pick Norwood as a 6th grader. I would do Bullis or Landon.

Landon hands down. Norwood is a nice school but who wants to go through all of this again in 8th grade?! And Bullis and Mater Dei just don't hold a candle to the others academically speaking.
