[quote=Anonymous][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]

Norwood would be a great option and, as a previous poster mentioned, it sends students to lots of different high schools.  I'm surprised that you didn't like the people you interacted with.  We have experience at several private schools and public and have found the faculty at Norwood extremely warm and caring (the HOS is amazing!).[/quote]

I can say from personal experience, I didn’t get a great impression from the interview, tour but thankfully I had previously met the HOS and a couple other faculty and the head of admissions so I just ignored the awkward visit. [/quote]
