[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loads of people apply to both WES and Lowell. There are families that have switched from one to the other in both directions.

Lowell might be considered more progressive and WES more traditional, but although surely left-leaning, WES probably would not put a picture of a kid in a political t-shirt on the homepage of their website, like Lowell has done. I think Lowell really leans into that identity. I think WES is indeed probably ideologically and parent-community-wise more similar to Norwood than to Lowell, with NPS and St. Pats skewing equal distance to the other side of the spectrum.

As far as academic profiles, I am less certain. When we were looking, we felt that St. Patrick’s offered a traditional curriculum, and WES as well. Beauvoir and NPS both seemed more coddling in their approach to teaching (and I don’t mean that in a bad way).

They’re all great schools. Pick one you like that’s close to your home. I LOVE being five minutes away and it is by far more impactful to our lives than so many of the other minute details often discussed here.

So true on location/commute - I wish any of these schools were 5 min away from us! Sadly, they are not and neither is our public middle school - so it's all a wash. Thanks![/quote]
