OP, I feel kinda dumb for asking. Thanks!

(Poolesville SMACS it is!)

Having your kid with you through their teens or not. That’s the decision.

I seriously doubt there are more than a handful of families that have gone through the process of deciding between these two options.

Boarding school because making a post like this is a sign of unfit parenting.

How would they compare in what way? Location? Cost? Diversity? Outcomes? Rigor? Curriculum? Sport? Robotics teams? Dining services?

Nobody is answering this question because the question is far too broad.

Poolesville SMCS is full. Goodbye.

Yes. Don't go to PHS. Please.

Prep school is better. You just write a check and no real parenting needed.

How would the two compare?
