For most athletics, it’s a toss up. For Poms and dance (not athletics) and theater, Blake hands down. I can’t speak to any of the others, but Blake was amazing for my kids. Definitely go to the open houses.

Blake is more over-enrolled than the others.

Paint Branch has that as well.

If nothing is specifically appealing academically, then go for shortest commute. The extra time enables more involvement in sports and activities.

Doesnt love academics but wants to be a PE teacher or run some kind of sports based business.
I’ve looked at all 3 schools online and none seem to really have programs she would be specifically drawn to, unless I’m missing something.
Which would you suggest and why.
I’m going to the open houses too.
