I had this same sort of choice, eons ago, also in the DC area. Where we lived, I could choose between one which was, at the time, always in the 1-2 national spot, or another very good hs with less attention. I chose A. High standards, more wealthier kids than in the place I previously lived, more sophistication and independence. An adjustment. In life terms, the right choice. My brother chose the other, which had more activities he wanted, less academic competition, a different sort of net to fall into.

You pick the school where she can thrive and be empowered, going forward. Sometimes, that’s more competition, sometimes less. If she is empowered, the college bit will fall into place.
