Social - Holton
Academics - Holton
Music - Holton offers free musical instrument lessons in school and 1 lesson after school. DD had to rent the instrument.  Norwood touts their violin program as if it is available to all but, I can't afford it paying full freight, buying lunches, paying $12 or whatever to stay after school for an hour without a teacher supported study hall. 
Individual attention without asking: Holton
Intellectual atmosphere: Holton
Arts- HOLTON blows the others away
Sports - not Holton b/c team competition sports do not start until 7th grade
Facility - Holton
Lunch- Holton it is hot and free
Breakfast - Holton
Study halls with teachers - Holton (very low cost)
Best school for busy parents - Holton
Longest tenured teachers - Holton
Leadership opportunities - Holton
Best value - Holton
Cultural education - Holton
Character development - Holton
Most fun - Holton

Holton is BY FAR the best value in this economy if your DD fits the criteria and is open to take advantage of all the school has to offer.  This school just gets better and better with relatively few administrative missteps in my many years there. They get it. Norwood sticks their hand into my pocket and doesn't teach my child. Worst.
