I’m surprised to hear BH spoken of so highly. I know people who have attended and because it’s all boys it has a smaller pool to select from - which means a lower standard. Kids I know who go there are nice kids, bright kids (but not academic ninjas), and SUPER sporty kids.

But I’d say for all three schools there are a lot of sporty kids. Sports are no joke at all three schools. D1 commits common.

Also lots of Ivy League + top nescac legacy kids at all three schools. So college matriculation lists reflect that.

I think your focus is misplaced. tour and interview at the schools, apply to all three. If you are accepted to all attend revisit day and pick the school your kid vibes with the most. Trying to pick the “better, best” school among those three is splitting hairs and culture will be more important.
