I have no “insights”, but:
- BB&N is a reputable school. Your daughter was accepted, so they think your daughter has the aptitude to succeed there.
- College placement is dependent on the applicant. I’m sure that BB&N, like all the other Boston area prep school, has competent college counselling that is individually focused. Your child’s college applications will have the benefit of input from someone who actually knows her, and who has the time to work with her. This is not always the case in public school.
Your child is an individual. Whether BB&N is a better match for her than the alternative(s) is only something that someone who knows her well can assess. What did she think of her tour and/or revisit? Does the school’s values align with your family’s values? Is there anything about the school that excites her?
Do you have any insight into why she has not developed a love of learning?
