Having looked at a few different options across the board size-wise, while the biggest schools can certainly check more boxes in many areas … at a certain point your kid can only do so much. Unless there’s some specific, unique opportunity that the large school offers that is critical for your kid it seems unlikely that all those perceived “opportunities” would actually make a material difference in your kid’s BS experience. We looked at it more from the perspective of how the school size meshes with our kid’s personality. If you’re doing revisit days, I’d personally focus more on how well your kid could see themselves fitting in with the other students they met, as opposed to whether choice A vs B has 20 more clubs and 3 more AP classes.

That’s my $.02.
