information about these schools?

I've compiled a short list of schools that I really like, and I'd like to get more than just stats about them. Firsthand information from parents, students, alumni, etc. would be very helpful. Anyone have information about the following schools? Thank you!

Mercersburg Academy
Middlesex School
Groton School
St Andrews School DE
St George's School

I applied to St. George's last year, and I really, really liked it. The campus is seriously the most gorgeous campus I have seen, and Newport is, obviously, an amazing town. I love the close proximity to the town. All of the facilities are amazing, and the student body is very small. The school has a reputation for being very preppy and beautiful, which is one of the things that made me want to not reapply. However, it is a strong school. I recommend you visit and see if the preppiness is something you could handle. Good luck!

@coffeecashmere: Here's a thread about St. Andrew's (DE). I am the parent of a second year sophomore girl and we've been very happy with the school so far.

St Andrew's School, Delaware

We looked at many schools when my daughter applied and visited 8 (including many of the most famous and most selective New England Schools) and after applying to three and getting admitted to two, my daughter chose SAS over St. Paul's.

Thank you so much for the information, everyone! It is much appreciated.

Ops, I am a prospective student, but my aunt wants as much information as possible. So information from any perspective is much appreciated.
