[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i dont think jefferson or EH are really all that substantially different from SH.  i dont think SH is necessarily so different from hardy.  while deal is a different school with a larger cohort of high achievers and more advanced offerings, its also enormous and there are some disadvantages to that.  reputations change slowly and may not fully reflect the current situation.[/quote]

The biggest problem with Jefferson for Hill families is that it's not close. Once you factor in a real commute, why not head to BASIS instead? SH benefits from literally being in the backyard of many families on the Hill, so it at least has the convenience factor going for it. SH has also been more transparent about having honors classes for math/ELA & how you're placed into them (although I understand that may have changed a bit post-pandemic) where Jefferson you had to be willing to accept the wink & nod that it would all work out. EH I think has recently(?) instituted honors classes, so that should help. Anyway, for high performing students, I think the experiences at SH/Jefferson/EH are not all that different, but the size of the relevant cohorts still are + SH is close (to the Hill) & has fantastic arts programming.[/quote]
