[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses.  I realize that I wasn't exactly forthcoming with descriptions of my son.  He is a sweet kid who can be very focused on things he's interested in.  He's not overly energetic (he can definitely sit still and listen and follow directions) and doesn't seem to be particularly sporty.  He can get frustrated when he struggles with tasks.  He has a hard time with loud noises (and loud, disruptive children...and can get frustrated with those children).  I like the religious aspects of WES and like the small community, but am concerned about the attrition rate and rumors of mean teachers.  We really liked Norwood but are unsure if it really has the "family atmosphere" we are looking for.  We just want our kid to be loved and respected and in a school that he feels safe, confident and at home.  I know he will get a great education at both schools.[/quote]

As others have said, traditionally there has been some attrition at WES in 3rd/4th grade. However, all bets are off with a GREAT new head and a new elementary head to be named. FWIW, I like the fact that there are smaller classes as the kids get older. Small class sizes are the BEST for learning. I would say go with WES - they have a great K program and the school is only getting better. There are many boys there who sound just like your son. Good luck, whatever you decide! You are in an enviable position to be able to choose between them.[/quote]
