[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought of Lowell as a school for kids who want an independent school education but can't get into the big players. Recently though I've met some really great families and kids who are from Lowell. Before we look at making a change I'd like to know how the school is perceived. Is it rigorous? Do smart kids to there? Or is it like St. Andrews, for the kids who need a bit of help due to disabilities? Where do graduates attend college? [/quote]

OP, I certainly hope you got in your applications for the big 3 in on time, because it sounds like nothing else will be acceptable for you (your snowflake's needs be damned).

Surprisingly, there are people who pick schools like Lowell, Sheridan to go because it is the right school for their child - even those families with BRIGHT children.  As you know, only dullards go to non big 3 schools.

LD's are funny things. They don't always show up on the first day of school. Some don't show up until later. Remember, karma's a bitch and your kid could be one of those who later on "need a bit of help."

As for college placements, Lowell students and all non big 3 grads generally go Montgomery College, NOVA. Lately, there has been a spike in children applying to Cosmetology school right out of Lowell.

Seriously, read the literature, read the websites, talk to families there and don't let the neon lights of the big 3 school blind you to other wonderful schools out there. [/quote]
