[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowell is always the first school that comes to mind for a genuinely nice, pretense-free environment from the top down. [b]I also have found that Norwood has a tradition of turning out some of the most poised, polite and polished students that I have come across.  But an earthy, crunchy environment it isn't.  It is a beautiful campus and the school is very committed to music and art and community service.  But each class there does seem to have its own flavor.  Some are more open and warm than others. [/b] St. Andrew's also is widely reputed to be a warm and caring school, but I have no personal experience to offer there. [/quote]

Have to disagree with the Norwood comments.  Students may appear "poised," etc., but it is in an "Eddie Haskell" way, if you remember him from Leave it to Beaver.  Many of the kids come from very wealthy families and are stuck up snobs who only care about the next thing their parents are going to buy for them.  Norwood has very little community service until 7th and 8th grade -- isn't that a little late to start teaching kids about this important topic?  Also the school is not "very committed" to music (art, yes).  Music faculty is so-so at best (except K music teacher) and music facilities are sub-par after 4th grade.  Ask to see where the Middle School band, bells and strings rehearse and you will see for yourself.
