Thanks elmo & NB. The schools’ websites are bookmarked and we have a stack of various viewbooks in the den. Since we live in NE we have driven through a number of the aforementioned campuses and others (e.g., Andover, Loomis, Choate, Hotchkiss, Groton) in recent years. It;s not interview time yet, but it’s nice to get others’ views on these schools here at CC, a site that had been recently recommended to me by a friend. We have a few family friends who are BS alums and recommend their experiences highly, and they feel that BS is ideal for our S.

Given the level of competition (and admissions selectivity), Deerfield might be a reach but it’s one school in which he’s shown a lot of interest. I’ve searched these forums a bit already, but I’d really appreciate a “20 word summary” (admittedly subjective) on each of the schools I noted. Thanks!
