[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And we purposely only applied to K-8 schools. We wanted HS to be an intentional decision based on who our kids are at that time. Good luck OP![/quote] There's nothing that says you can't start in a K-12 school, and go somewhere else for HS. [/quote] True! But momentum and wanting to stay in a familiar place/with friends who are staying can certainly impact decision-making for a 13/14 year old. We liked the idea of everyone graduating 8th grade together and moving on at the same time to the next chapter. Norwood has some wonderful traditions for the 8th graders that make it a really meaningful milestone. It also gives 8th graders an opportunity to experience a leadership role in the school before high school, which we thought was valuable. We also found some of the k-12's we considered to be very focused on resources for the HS vs. the lower grades. In any case, this was our thinking and what pushed our family to focus on PK-8.
