Your kid will love it and will be very well prepared for next steps.
Everyone who reads this thread should know this is the most ridiculous comment on here. All three of these schools, and others in the area, are absolutely amazing and we’re privileged enough to be able to select the one that best fits our kids learning profiles.

I wish every student would be able to have a psych Ed evaluation done. They are so insightful and would help uninformed ppl like this commenter understand why there’s not one “best” school. There’s no best school for all students.

It's probably best to go with your gut feeling. However don't be surprised if you're re-evaluating schools again when your son is older. The Atlanta Private school system is one where the family and the child has to fit into the culture of the school. It's less about how bright your child is or not... It boils down to fitting into the school's culture. Do keep in mind, entry points into Westminister are Kindergarten and sixth grade. The years in between are much more difficult to get into though not impossible.

You're absolutely correct - all are great schools. Most kids that would excel at one, would excel at another.

Well said! It's part of the B.S.

It's not public school, they can't "accept" every applicant. Not sure what's B.S. about that - it's how every single private school works. My suggestion is that if you have a problem with it, save your money and send your kid to public school.

Speaking of Lovett, I saw their 2022 Lacrosse team was 22-0 this year and beat Westminster in the State Championship game. Looks like Lovett's ended up being ranked #6 nationally (#1 in Georgia), which is dang impressive.
