@ChoatieMom gives wise advice.
I’ll give a slightly more detailed version of that, and I’ll include an extra step.

Step 1: Go BACK to your original criteria, and now that you are only looking at two schools, take a deeper look at those same criteria and see which really nails them better. Dig deeper than just the website. Really get the nuts and bolts info…what is the daily experience of your criteria.
Step 2: Assuming both schools meet your criteria, then I would consider setting those aside for a moment, and just breathe the air and see which fits better.
And by “breathe the air” I mean either a revisit, or a set of zooms, or some phone calls with parents, connecting with kids, faculty, etc. READ THE STUDENT HANDBOOK!
So whatever “breathe the air” can mean for you, I might do that and then make final decision.
