兩校排名我并不太了解,但從我在美國近20年教育圈工作中所接觸的教育工作者,兩校管理層,包括幫助過去到兩校的學(xué)生而言,雖屬于同一級別,但Hotchkiss綜合聲譽(yù)略好。

家長你仔細(xì)查看一下Prepreview的對哈耶普斯芝的錄取比例兩個是基本一致,盡管排名Hotchkiss 在第五,DA在第10,但是基本一致。另外給幾個家長的評語,供你參考:
My daughter is a junior at Deerfield and swims as well. She's white but her closest friends are from all backgrounds. She revisited at Hotchkiss and I'd say Deerfield is more diverse.
FWIW, when I was interviewing at another school last summer, I met an athlete from Hong Kong who was gushing about Deerfield. He had just come out of the Deerfield summer program - loved the school, loved the people. was so excited to maybe go there, as an international summer student, he just loved his Deerfield experience.
one of the reasons we decided on Deerfield was because of its diversity and the number of international students. It’s a smaller to mid-size school, so it may seem on first glance that there are fewer international students or Asian students compared to other schools like PEA or PA because there are fewer students in total at DA. One of the wonderful traditions at DA is their seated meals. You are assigned to a table during several meals per week (not seats) every 5 or 6 weeks, where you sit with students across nationalities, ages, and culture. My kiddo has become friends with students in different grades and from different countries thanks to this tradition. This eliminates (IMHO) kids bunching up by cliques at every meal.
Hope this helps. 再次恭喜你的孩子! -
其實兩所學(xué)校在同一級別,Hotchkiss人文藝術(shù)音樂非常強(qiáng)。學(xué)生畢業(yè)后去向也好。頂尖的美高。
-
兩個學(xué)校是一個量級的,不用太過于糾結(jié),更多看的還是匹配,要是孩子的文科、藝術(shù)方面比較強(qiáng)的話,可以考慮Hotchkiss,唯一就是地理位置偏一些。
-
如果你特別喜歡文課,尤其是音樂、藝術(shù)類,那么hotchkiss可優(yōu)先考慮。我們申請過,也實地考察過。其藝術(shù)系確實出色,尤其音樂部分,相當(dāng)于一個小型音樂學(xué)院。仔細(xì)瀏覽官網(wǎng),可以看到這點。
地點確實有點偏,出入山林子里,手機(jī)經(jīng)常無信號。但是,從專心求學(xué)講,或許反而是好?! -
都可以,排名沒有必要太擔(dān)心,畢竟明眼人都能看出來,DA和hotchkiss算是一個級別的,藤校率都在30%-30%左右。hotchkiss我個人認(rèn)為太偏僻了,deerfield要好一點。

可以看一下這個排名:https://polarislist.com/best-private-high-schools-in-america ,這個是以高中學(xué)校拿到哈佛,普林斯頓,MIT三個學(xué)校錄取的總?cè)藬?shù)來排名學(xué)校的綜合實力,DA排名第4,Hotchkiss排名15。美國本地學(xué)生家長更看重這個排名,硬指標(biāo)。
DA今年早申請中國學(xué)生錄了哈佛,耶魯,MIT,申請結(jié)果非常好,只是DA家長和學(xué)校低調(diào)不宣傳而已,不存在下滑之說
