[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school curriculum in the lower grades is exciting; perhaps too much so. They seem to get too far away from the three Rs in the process of exposure to great specials.
One step in the right direction was getting rid of Friday half days.
I wish they would go to 3:30 on Fridays to get more academic time in. [/quote]

IMO, there is a tremendous amount of time that is wasted throughout the week, not just in the one hour early dismissal on Fridays.  Whatever happened to the consultant brought in to revamp the schedule so that children wouldn't repeatedly miss the three Rs due to Chapel running over, an extra assembly here or there, practice for concerts?[/quote]

We love the school, even with its issues. 
That said, this would be a dream school if they could only do as you say and have the same standards for academics that they have for music. The kids are totally capable of moving ahead.
I think of Norwood as a gem. The fact that they have a strong sibling policy makes it really enticing for all families. That adds to academic diversity too. [/quote]
