At all of the listed schools, there will be students who scored in the 60s on the SSAT. And, yes, there will be students who scored in the 90s. So, if your daughter is anywhere in between,she should do well if she does all of the assigned work.

If your daughter is concerned, then the best way to deal with fear is hard work & determination.

The main difference between attending a local high school and a well respected prep boarding school is that the prep boarding school students have less time to goof-off & must do their homework. Boarding school students are very involved in their school community. Lots of friends who are experiencing similar feelings. Some kids are great at math,others at sports, some at theater, etc. It is a community. Every person has strengths & weaknesses & every student will do their homework.

P.S. With respect to academic rigor: Everyone is in the same boat & everyone learns to adjust to the academic expectations. Better to learn good study habits now then later at college.
