You could also consider, based on where your kids are as students, socially, and emotionally, which types of BS would be best for them. Some are smaller, less competitive, more nurturing, more structured, etc. than others. For a kid who wants or needs those traits, there’s a school. For kids looking for something else, there are other schools.
I think most kids would be fine at the right school for them if they take some initiative. But fit matters!
