Someone above mentioned Mercersburg. That’s an easy day trip from here. I don’t know much about the school but don’t think it’s a very competitive admit.

Mercersburg has become exceptionally competitive over the last decade,  it currently ranks #1 in PA and #26 nationally.  Last reported admit rates were in the 20% range.  It has one of the largest endowments for private boarding schools ( I think in the top 10),  and on a per-student basis it is close to 1M per student.

The school setting is simply stunning, the school has the reputation for placing students not only at some of the best colleges and universities in the world, but takes unique approach to finding the best-fit for each of its students as they head off to college.

Full disclosure, I have two kids there and we couldn't be happier with who they are and how they are thriving. [/quote]

The only UMC kid I ever met who regularly did hard drugs had gotten into them at Mercersburg in the '90s. From their stories, it was pervasive there. Their parents pulled them out and sent them elsewhere but the habits followed them for years. Very glad to hear the school seems to be on an upward trajectory.[/quote]
