[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter in the Class of 2026 at one of these. It has been an incredible experience for her. Of the girls her year at her K-8, more than half applied to at least one all girls school and about half of those who were admitted to at least one elected to attend. [/quote]

OP Here. That is awesome. These are all excellent schools. I was just surprised that almost none of the girls in my DD's class is interested in attending (especially given the legacy boost) and is more interested in Co-ed.[/quote]

These schools are by no means interchangeable. My daughter only applied to Madeira and didn't see the others as a good fit. My daughter had a great experience but not all of her peers found as good a fit.

When college choice came around, despite being recruited by several top women's colleges, she took herself off their boards after visiting a couple and had committed to a co-ed SLAC. She felt that having had the single sex experience she was well prepared to mix with boys in the classroom for college.
