I have a daughter who is a junior at Episcopal. She chose it after revisiting, feeling it had the best balance for her of strong academics but maybe not so competitive that she wouldn’t be able to do well. That has turned out to be accurate. She loves the location near Washington, D.C., and the 100 percent boarding. As parents, we have found the adult community at the school to be very supportive and available to us when we reach out. The student culture skews more conservative/Southern than the other schools on your list.
The other schools on your list were not ones on my older daughter’s list, though we are revisiting Loomis with my younger daughter in a few weeks!
