@one1ofeach - not sure if I can help but can share our impressions and experiences . Groton is really a beautiful and impressive school, but for our kiddo it was just too small (like I said before). Some people want that, and that’s a good fit for them. Also, our kiddo didn’t like the school room the partial wall in the dorm for 9th grade, no doors for 8th grade, the set up for study hall and felt there were too many rules for 9th graders. We have good friends whose 3 kids graduated from there and LOVED it. Kiddo loved the chapel scene, however. Some kids like that and some don’t.
Location, size, campus vibe, energy, how study halls are set up, etc…all good things to consider.
