[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowell has had bad results this year so far. Just objectively bad. One kid got in everywhere so the school will say they got kids into Sidwell, Maret, GDS but it’s all one kid. There were maybe 2 more in at GDS, 1 more in at Sidwell, and the rest of the class on the waitlist or just rejected. Some kids got in literally nowhere. Not good.[/quote]

That is so unfortunate. Do you think that this was a fluke year? Lots of students/families with unreasonable expectations?

We are at another k-8 and from what I am hearing (I'm not an 8th grade parent), most 8th grade families seem pleased. The 2 families that I have heard that are not happy are ones who were aiming for schools that were definitely out of reach for their child's capabilities based on what I know of the students (ex. a child with dyslexia that is not getting appropriate supports bc of parent denial of how bad it is, despite pressure from school to get child support. - no shock that child did not get in to St Alban's)[/quote]

How are Lowell's math offerings? I understand that some schools require that students complete Algebra 1 before entering.[/quote]
