[quote=Anonymous]The numbers posted here are no negative indication. Norwood has the policy of keeping each grade to 50-60 kids per grade in 1st to 8th grade. K is purposefully kept smaller. So, the numbers posted are well within the school's goals predicated on their capabilities. Last year they rejected a lot of K and other applicants. Their fundraising is strong, so they can stay commited to taking only right fit families and right-sizing the school. Norwood graduates get into their top choice high school and excell there. They are happy and engaged and challenged while at Norwood.  No need to invent issues where none exist. We also are sending our two WIPPSI 98th percentile kids there over the other schools. The big 3 are nice, but inconvenient geographically for us and don't have the community or beautiful architecture and fields. I love nature and did not want my kids playing on AstroTurf, no offense. Norwood is unique and special. The big 3 have the same purported academic issues, the need to keep evolving and stay with the times. No school is static or perfect for all. Norwood is a perfectly good school.  Their numbers will keep on going up and down and mean nothing, other than the fact that the school is happy to stay within its pre established size. [/quote]
