[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Current Norwood middle school parent here - we too loved it when we were admitted and DC was younger.  Realize now that it is a small school and your child's social experience will depend heavily on the make up of the other kids in their grade.  We have had some great teachers and some terrible teachers which is probably true at any school.  The school has definitely had issues in the past few years in my DC's class with social/emotional learning/bullying incidents - again, this could be cohort dependent.  The art and music have been great and the ability for all kids to play on the sports teams is also beneficial for my kid.  Hoping for good outplacement.[/quote]

Current Norwood lower school parent here — just curious about whether the bullying showed up earlier or whether it was more recent? DD doesn’t report any issues right now, but we are in lower elementary, so I know that can change.[/quote]

Different poster here, not the one above.  It is really grade dependent, as I have heard at many local privates.  There can be years with a great group, and years with a few challenging kids like at any school.  Sometimes the boy group is great, and not the girl group, or the other way around.  If you look at threads in the private school forum you will see this at most area schools.  The school can be great, and then one year out of four there is a cohort with more challenges.  The nice thing is the grades are usually big enough that there are enough kids to find social alternatives, which is harder at some other smaller privates.[/quote]
