Davidson has always been a good school. It took people in the NE a while to realize that, but it's always been very in demand among southerners.

+1 Davidson has never taken mostly B students, even when those grades used to place one around the top 1/3. Davidson 30 yrs ago got a lot of cross applications and admits w Duke and Vanderbilt and UNCCH. 30 yrs ago, mid90s, UNCCH in state from one of the better public high schools, essentially required top 10%. Davidson did too , and often took the slightly higher subgroup. Duke has always favored NC students: the ones admitted from the better publics were top 3-5%.
Mostly Bs is a middle to bottom half kid at all but a very few strict-grading privates.
That kid in NC would be Unc greensboro, Elon, App state, sewanee these days. In the northeast Ursinius, Union, Lehigh?

Came here to say Elon. Similar vibe to Davidson, still rigorous but easier to get into than Davidson.

Bucknell if your private is sufficiently rigorous.

ISO an academically rigorous school that a B/B+ kid (from a private school) can get into. Late bloomer. Strong grades junior and senior years, but not the case of a bad 9th. Just mostly Bs in 9th and 10th. 35 ACT in single seating. A few AP exams that he self studied for, 5s in all.

Doesn't have to be a culture of rigor/academics, just want it to be available and a large enough cohort that he's not the odd man out.

Open to the UK.
