两校排名我并不太了解，但从我在美国近20年教育圈工作中所接触的教育工作者，两校管理层，包括帮助过去到两校的学生而言，虽属于同一级别，但Hotchkiss综合声誉略好。

家长你仔细查看一下Prepreview的对哈耶普斯芝的录取比例两个是基本一致，尽管排名Hotchkiss 在第五，DA在第10，但是基本一致。另外给几个家长的评语，供你参考：
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！

其实两所学校在同一级别，Hotchkiss人文艺术音乐非常强。学生毕业后去向也好。顶尖的美高。

两个学校是一个量级的，不用太过于纠结，更多看的还是匹配，要是孩子的文科、艺术方面比较强的话，可以考虑Hotchkiss，唯一就是地理位置偏一些。

如果你特别喜欢文课，尤其是音乐、艺术类，那么hotchkiss可优先考虑。我们申请过，也实地考察过。其艺术系确实出色，尤其音乐部分，相当于一个小型音乐学院。仔细浏览官网，可以看到这点。

地点确实有点偏，出入山林子里，手机经常无信号。但是，从专心求学讲，或许反而是好？！

都可以，排名没有必要太担心，毕竟明眼人都能看出来，DA和hotchkiss算是一个级别的，藤校率都在30%-30%左右。hotchkiss我个人认为太偏僻了，deerfield要好一点。

可以看一下这个排名：https://polarislist.com/best-private-high-schools-in-america ，这个是以高中学校拿到哈佛，普林斯顿，MIT三个学校录取的总人数来排名学校的综合实力，DA排名第4，Hotchkiss排名15。美国本地学生家长更看重这个排名，硬指标。

DA今年早申请中国学生录了哈佛，耶鲁，MIT，申请结果非常好，只是DA家长和学校低调不宣传而已，不存在下滑之说

这两个学校是一个级别的，不必过于纠结排名。我们对DA感觉更好一些，而且Hotchkiss的确太偏。
