[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rationalization and justification for sending your children to Norwood are fine and soothing but have nothing to do with the reality of the marketplace and the private school financial balance sheet and attrition/retention rates.  Many parents echoed exactly these sentiments when sending their children to St Frances School in Potomac many years ago before the school merged with St Andrews.  We all have our reasons for choosing one school over another (many reasons are unique and do not factor in attrition/retention rates).

These issues are separate and have nothing to do with appropriate fit and matching for a child, parent or family.  I, too, logistically can't send my children to schools in DC ( if given the opportunity) regardless of the school's financial balance sheet, "lofty" status or longstanding viability.[/quote]

There is no attrition or retention issues at Norwood. The numbers quoted don't show that. Norwood remains strongly within it's intended student body size.  Their outstanding placement record and sound financials are unchanged. Norwood is well established and there for the long haul. No parents or administrators at the school are even talking or thinking about it. This "issue" is all in your head. Good luck to you and whichever school ends up with you as a parent. Lucky for me it sounds like it won't be Norwood. [/quote]
