[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at Norwood. We liked HoS, but not so much the others we interacted with at the school.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also look at K-8s.  There are a lot of those around here, and then you can figure out the DC private scene and decide where you want to apply for high school.  Norwood expands in 4th and sends kids to all the high schools you are considering.  There is also WES, Langley, Lowell, Sheridan, Woods, and a couple others.  K-8 is a popular model around here, not sure about in New England.  There are also some K-6 schools here I think.[/quote]

I think this is good advice. DC is not New England. It’s showier in some ways, and in some ways more insecure. It’s a city of lawyers.[/quote][/quote]

I would say if you liked the lower school head at Norwood, check out NPS, but it ends in 6th, which you probably don’t want.

You may also like Langley, the private school, not the giant public school. WES, however, is more rigorous. Families at neither school are insecure or showy.

You may also find you like Sidwell. Elementary and middle school experiences can be uneven, it is showier and more insecure than many Boston privates, but of the K-12s it may be more to your taste than the others.[/quote]
