[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a fan of Norwood and applied for my child but I am aware of a family that left a few years ago that didn’t have a good experience. The child joined in 4th or 5th grade and had a miserable experience. The child was very normal but didn’t feel welcome by the kids in the class. That family left and had a much better experience at another school.

So yes, there are some families that report issues but most I know have had good experiences. [/quote]

You’re “aware of a family” means you are just repeating third or fourth hand information and had no direct conversation with them about their experience? How is this helpful?[/quote]

My knowledge is direct from the family. Many conversations with parents about what the kid experienced. Nothing 3rd or 4th hand. [/quote]

I take it back then. Your wording made it sound like you didn't know the family directly.  Sad that the child had a bad experience but glad they are now happy.  As some previous posters have mentioned, experiences can vary a lot between different cohorts.  It's one of the drawbacks of smaller schools as particular personalities aren't diluted by a bigger cohort and there is less scope for social movement.  That's the case in any school of that size and not unique to Norwood.[/quote]
