Pretty much for the reasons that you stated.
P.S. @Calliemomofgirls : Could you please post an updated list of the schools on your list.
I am a bit confused as to whether you have one or two lists as the second list has a lot of academically demanding, fairly high pressure schools, yet you wrote that you wanted to avoid that type of environment.
I’ll second Mercersburg Academy. Great school with lots of caring faculty & administrators. Lots os sit down meals which are very important to building a sense of community.
