I'm so glad to hear this.

I am a very involved parent at NPS. Just FYI there are not a set of two AA siblings at NPS who are old enough to take standardized tests. This post is fake.

Wrong! I don’t want to name drop but there definitely was.

A set of two that were old enough to take ERB and we’re both at the school? Nope!

I am not going to argue with you. To all reading, just know we are an AA family and we love the school. Tour and speak to current families.

Class lists haven’t been sent out yet

Nope! Pre-K parent here. The lists are not out. I love the school, but you all make up stuff just to prove a point.

Simmer down. ERBs aren’t the only standardized tests in existence. Perhaps a reference to a WPPSI or WISC subtest. Either way, you’re not doing this amazing school any favors here. We loved NPS and were not a typical family in a lot of respects.

And the previous poster attended play dates. It’s not that serious folks. Great school! They are doing much better in the diversity area.

As a parent of multiple kids I can think of at least one set of AA siblings who are old enough to take ERBs just off the top of my head. This whole post seems silly to me.

If you are interested in NPS, come take a look!

Uh, false? I got a list, along with everyone else, of the entire k grade. The classes they will be split into haven’t been sent yet. Lol

So, basically, you agree that the class list has not been sent out yet. There is a difference between grade and class.

+1. Generally this whole entire blog seems to be filled with sad, anonymous people gleefully being horrible.

I would ask admissions about my child's upcoming class knowing nothing is set in stone until people sign contracts, and look at overall demographic info of students and faculty to get a sense of the school for my family. Also, hearing anecdotal experience can be great - bearing in mind it is anecdotal. But this repetitive counting of kids in onesies and twosies isn't very enlightening overall.

Yes this is absolutely wrong. My child graduated two years ago with a child who had a younger sibling that would definitely qualify, so this could absolutely be true (and could have been true for years now).
