| I'd like to know about the number of sibs at Norwood too, anyone know? |
Anonymous
In a typical year, Norwood fills 20-30 spaces with siblings. This year was atypical. They had an usually small number of siblings, so there will be only 12 siblings in the K class for next fall. It explains why they are still looking to fill slots - the AD said that they are looking to add 5 more qualified children to make a class anywhere between 48-54 students. |

| That sounds more like it with only 4 sibs in each class. But if I do the math right, does it mean they have 43 enrolled now and aim to get 5 more for 48, or do they have 49 enrolled now and aim to get 5 more for 54 total? Is this everyday math? How many do they have enrolled now? |

A current Lowell parent posted to the DCUM list serv. There are 3-year-old and 4-year-old spots in PrePrimary, and a few spots available in other grades. |

Anonymous Lowell has (as of last Friday) Pre-primary spots (this program begins at age 3 and is not necessarily Pre-K depending on what group has openings) and spots in grades other than K. No K spots available. Also, they have added a Junior Kindergarten (JK) this year. Don't know if that is one of the grades with spots, but it may be because it is a new class. Definitely call them if interested! |

| Was just about to post the same thing. Both excellent schools I'm sure but they really couldn't be more different from top down. I know a few Norwood parents at work - all very pleasant. Also know several Green Acres families - equally pleasant but maybe a little bit more down to earth. |
