What are my chances and where should I go?

Hello fellow browsers! Thx for stopping by this post.
I am a ninth grader currently enrolled in a pretty good school district. However, I don’t like the environment that I am in right now. The schools aren’t supportive of my extra curricular, and I am just not having a great time here. I used to go to a private school(It was one of the top schools in my area), so I thought I should return to one of them. But the COVID situation made my life so miserable that I can’t foresee any futures . I don’t know where should I apply or should I even go… Receiving some advises would means the world to me! Here are my stats

Academic:
I am freshman and an all A’s student with 3 honors and taking pre calculus at the moment. I took Latin for 3 years and received 1 perfect score on the National Latin exam, and 1 second place winner. I am really big on histories, Philosophies, and may be some political science. I am terrible at standardized testings, for now… Therefore I cannot include my SSAT into my resume… That might be a huge blow to my application. My recommendations might make up for my academics??

EC:
I play a lot of competitive golf, and I’ve been improving through hard work. I shoot in the 70s mostly, and some in the low 80s, I guess I can say I am good, but not an insane stud. I was also an elected student council member, not sure if it counts as an EC but I wish I can continue. I was also a decent stage performer, and starred in 3 shows, two required signings. I also look forward to join speech and debate, and also MUN, and maybe writings. I think I have the capability to do well, but I just don’t have anything to show. If the school gives me a chance, I might do football.

I guess what makes me special is my speaking skills, passion, great community spirit(I LOVE GOING AND CHEER FOR GAMES), and the ability to lead (lol I hope this doesn’t cringe you ). I am currently looking at andover, Exeter and Hill. I think my interviews went pretty well, although I didn’t really receive anything like “You are a great fit”. I really REALLY want to go to a decent boarding school that I can excel, and chase my dreams. My willingness to go haunts me every night for fearing that I may not make it. I am looking for a school that has opportunities, a strong community, and guidances for my life. I am very frustrated, and miserable about my future and life, I just hope I can get an opportunity to get out. Some advises would mean the world to me! Thank y’all so much for reading this!!!
Happy Early Christmas!
