My D was crazy about Commonwealth as an 8th grader, but grew to be more interested in ECs as she approached 9th. She was accepted at Milton (day student), Winsor (Roxbury’s other “half”), and Commonwealth, and we had a tough time deciding. Ultimately, it was the abundance of ECs and the diversity at Milton. The kids there sample lots of things–boys will play baseball but also be in the dance concert. For my D, exploring was key to her choice. Commonwealth is an outstanding school with a very specific feel to it. The kids do get close there.
