[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP stipulated that they like the K-8 model.

[b]Many of the responses are people telling OP that they shouldn’t like the K-8 model. So it’s just a lot of irrelevant noise.[/b]

OP, we loved the K-8 model also. I can’t speak to the other schools, but Norwood was great for our kids from the standpoint of preparation as well as high school placement. It gave our kids the precise type of experience we were hoping for in the first place with a K-8. We really loved it, never regretted sending our kids there and never considered moving them early. Good luck to you![/quote]
It's not irrelevant bc the OP was asking about HS placement. If she didn't care where her child went to HS, then, yes, such responses would be irrelevant. But very clearly, OP is asking about which K-8 schools send their students to highly competitive private HSs. Hence, all the advice.[/quote]

No. What you are saying is “OP, I know you say you like the K-8 model, but if you really care about HS placement, then you shouldn’t like the K-8 model.” That’s both irrelevant and inane, you’re just arguing with OP.

It’s possible to love K-8 and also want a sense of how a particular K-8 will prepare your child for the next step. For us, we knew that Norwood would do an amazing job of preparing our kids for high school, this is something that we definitely looked into and thought about when we were applying. But not because we were already focused on a specific high school or group of them when our kid was in K. That would be contrary to the model and what we loved about K-8 in the first place.[/quote]
