Pingry vs Newark Academy

Hi all my son was accepted into Pingry and Newark Academy for the ninth grade. I know this is primarily used for boarding schools, but if there are any parents and students willing to give us advice, that would be very much appreciated. Which school is better in terms of college counseling, courses, ECs, overall atmosphere, etc.? If any students could share their experiences in regards to academics and the college counseling that would be very helpful.
Thanks

Son was accepted to Pingry, but didn’t apply to Newark Academy. I know several of my friends kids who graduated from Pingry. Overall the experience from my friends at Pingry was positive. We visited the campus a few times and found it to be quite pleasant. Pingry has a big focus on athletics. Many of its students get recruited at the top schools for sports.
