Hello my daughter has been accepted at Brooks and Pomfret for sophomore year next year. Waitlisted at Deerfield and Westminster.
We’re counting Deerfield out, holding out hope for Westminster but would like to explore the other 2.
Is one better than the other? (Brooks and Pomfret)
She is a very good student and very social.
Thank you in advance for anyone who has any input.
Is chocolate better than vanilla? The best school is the one that fits your daughter best, and only your family can decide that.
If you meant to compare programs, culture, or some quantitative aspect of these schools, you will need to be more specific.

Is your daughter a student of color?
Well as stated before, she is academically strong but also social. So, is one of those schools more academic than the other?
She is not a student of color.

Brooks has had some incidents with students of color that I’d avoid as a parent but if your daughter is not then it’s probably a moot point.
I’m not aware that one is academically much more rigorous than the other.
Ok, thank you. This is all new territory for us. My daughter decided Jan 5 to consider boarding school, so here we are. I’m sure they are all great options, sorry to hear there are still race issues, but thankful for your input.
My niece graduated from Pomfret five or six years ago. She entered as an underachieving teen who was acting out a bit and exited as a successful, likeable and mature young lady with much adoration for the school. Then graduated from a fine university and seems to be a completely wonderful person.
