Of course schools publicize graduating class sizes. But you or whomever was trying to bait the Norwood poster ("prove you work there by posting info") were asking for analysis on attrition over a multi-year period. That's not the type of information schools make public. All of your name-calling (really? The poster is a janitor?) or even for "transparency" doesn't change that reality.

Sounds awfully defensive over a matter of simple numbers. This is not about revealing your credit card number, bank account numbers, social security number or personal identifiers. Worthy schools don't hide these numbers or play games? What are you hiding?

No bait here just simple and clear answers to clear, simple and straightforward questions?

Get back on tract and answer the simple questions. There's no need here for distracting smoke. These facts, and provision thereof, are not tied to employment at Norwood.

I don't have Norwood ties, but can say that independent schools in general do not publicize information such as historical attrition rates. That sort of analysis is something an Admissions Director gives to a Board of Trustees. I don't think you'd be able to find it in the public domain for other schools.

Without having any inside knowledge about the future of Norwood (I drive by it on my commute), I would caution any parents or potential parents who are reading this thread to not expect to see information about attrition rates posted here and to not interpret this as some sort of confirmation that there's an issue. Talk to your school admin or a board member if you are concerned.[/quote]

NP here who works in college admissions. The immediate PP is correct about historical attrition rates being considered proprietary information.

The previous PP accusing others of "distracting smoke" doesn't work in education or any other field requiring data analysis and has no insight, obviously.[/quote]
