I’m so happy to find some discussion of Boston area day schools! Our DD applied to 5 local day schools, was rejected at Nobles, WL at Rivers, and accepted to Dana Hall, Thayer, and Dexter. Rivers was her dream, we knew Nobles was a long shot. Now we’re scratching our heads between the 3 acceptances (academics win at Dana but the all-girls factor doesn’t). Which leaves us with Thayer/Dexter. Any insight between the 2? Our DD is somewhat sporty, not super arty, but really loves academics/socializing/current events. She’s all As in a top 10 MA school district and mid-70% ssat. I’m including this b/c she really wants to be in school with kids who are like her academically. W
