[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe Lowell had a big tuition hike after contracts were due a couple of years ago. It was handled poorly and they lost families because of it. [/quote]

Lowell has been a disaster for years. Sounds like the chickens are finally coming home to roost. [/quote]

Three years ago we were researching schools. After doing the initial zoom call with Lowell we crossed it off. We could tell from that hour long call that they had money issues. They said something like "we don't want the family contribution to end with the tuition, we do ask for additional contributions throughout the year" or something like that. Giant red flag.[/quote]

Literally every school (including public) fundraises and asks for contributions throughout the year.  I have never heard of it being mentioned during recruitment like that (at most like an occasional "the boosters do XY&Z every year snd it really helps to fund the ABC programs)... mentioning that is wildly tone deaf... sounds like they are feeling desperate.[/quote]
