[quote=Anonymous]We have direct experience with both schools, with one child at each for HS.  Based on personal preference of the two kids, and the social climate of the two specific classes being joined, and specific extracurricular interests.  Both were extremely happy and received great educations at their respective schools. Academics were basically identical in terms of range of classes, academic strengths of their peers at the two schools.  College admissions results, number of NMSFs also almost identical.  Both schools full of liberal and generally very affluent families.  Degree of ethnic diversity at the two schools also pretty similar.  So really this should be up to your kid and where he/she feels more comfortable, many kids admitted to both schools for MS or HS, because by then based on real predictive testing and grades, so not a surprise that many kids/families making this decision. In our experience goes both ways and we and the decision for both of ours, and they each made the right decision for their specific personality and interests.  So have your kid shadow again and let him/her decide.  The feel of the schools are a bit different and the strengths/things that drive you nuts about the places are different, but on balance there was nothing that would make us now say that we would have picked one over the other if we were going through the process again.
