[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is having s hard time deciding where to go for highschool. Thrilled she got into GDS and Sidwell, not really considering her 3rd choice which she was also admitted to. We are torn and wondering if 3rd choice just may be better---less stress, maybe easier to standout academically. Do these things matter when college rolls around? I know it's crazy to think of college now, but is it better to come from a big name school like GDS or Sidwell....or to be a big fish in a little pond at a smaller, less prestigious school.[/quote] For HS, I would let your daughter choose. You can't predict the future, and if she got into GDS and SFS, they think she can handle the work. They are both great schools; if you focus on the experience there, and emphasize that to her over just her rank/ college success in her class, she will likely come out having had a very rich experience. If she hates 9th grade, you can always move her for 10th as well. [/quote]
