[quote=Anonymous]Same caveat - don’t know Flint Hill.

Based on info as of five years ago:
For most kids probably - SAES. It has the benefits of a good private but course options and culture are closer what most of us think of as a good “regular” high school, albeit with the light touch of an Episcopal school.  For a kid who really feels more comfortable with city life , arts and a bit more comfort with “ alternative” youth culture, Burke is the place (to be clear, there are plenty of other types there as well). Both SAES and Burke used to offer AP classes; Field in the past did not, but that could have changed.   Field used to be committed
to a larger number of younger teachers - take that as a pro or con - not sure if it’s philosophy there has changed.  Probably a few more students on higher academic ends at SAES and Burke than field - look at college placement lists to get a feel for that.  That can be good or bad depending on the kid.

I would only consider Field if it really felt right
