[quote=Anonymous]I have a son at Norwood and we all absolutely love it. We looked at WES and it was fine, but we wanted a larger student body (but still with small classroom groups and even much smaller break-out groups). Norwood magically is able to maintain its numbers while giving each child the attention they should be getting. The school size makes the experience more diverse for my son with many options and different kinds of friends - great competitive sports program, amazing technology department integrated throughout the school, art/music/drama has huge emphasis, PE and recess everyday, beautiful campus... So interests and opportunities are many. I don't mean to say that it is a big school - it is very intimate and the teachers know my son and how he learns best. I can't fully express my admiration for this school, teachers and leaders, and how happy my son is each day. The school masks the hard work through fun, creative activities.

Another draw to Norwood is the families. I have never found a more-committed, down-to-earth, friendly group of people. The community feel at Norwood can't be missed.

I also went to Holton and I loved my years there. While I can't wait to send my daughter there, I have been so happy with the learning environment here at Norwood, that we'll look to Holton for high school. That way she can be included in the decision on where she will go for those 'college-prep' years - you have to think that your third grade daughter will change so much over the next few years so you should consider what is right for her now. I also think the K-8 experience is best for those middle school years where the students are the king of the hill (instead of striving to be like the high-schoolers)! It helps build their confidence and self-esteem in that difficult transition stage of life.

Huge fan a Norwood - Good luck!![/quote]
