[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kiddo went to Lowell and we transferred to Sheridan and we're very glad we did. From a social justice perspective - Sheridan walked the talk - and the education has been outstanding all the way through 8th.  From my perspective - it's a drama free - well functioning school that goes all in for the students.  The only thing I don't like about it is the gym. That's it. Lunch program is amazing, too.  Also, there is a farmer's market![/quote]

Friends of ours transferred from
Sheridan to Lowell, and they are  happier. Similar schools with similar approaches. Lowell has two classes per grade, and Sheridan has one. Depends a on the personalities and how your child gels in a particular class.

Some have suggested a dip in demand for K-8 schools in the area. Is Sheridan at risk of under-enrollment the way Lowell is said to be on another thread here?[/quote]

Given current demographic shifts and a more precarious economic situation in the DC area, there is probably more of a heightened risk of under-enrollment at Sheridan. But Sheridan seems better positioned to stay afloat than others. Crucial factors that will influence survival will be positive and nurturing administration, the school's ability to retain and attract quality students and top talent, the school's ability to avoid controversy, the school's ability to garner positive attention through groundbreaking and/or community initiatives, and the stubborn maintenance of the small school culture that has always defined the school.
