Some go to equivalent schools for a better cultural fit. Jesuit for example. Greenhill is very tolerant racially, religiously and gender id, etc., but it is small and is k-12 and in its own way it is very set in its ways. Greenhill upper school is good, the academics are solid, middle school was not well run for quite a while.

Hockaday is a sister school to St. Mark's, so the girls have opportunities to socialize with boys, although at the moment, there is quite a bit of friction between the 2 schools. It may be a temporary thing, but it's worth researching if that matters to you. Also, OP mentioned sports.
Also, vis a vis Greenhill's location, please remember to many of us who live south of 635 - any address north of 635 is actually in Southern Oklahoma. Seriously, what we have is an embarrassment of private school riches in North Dallas. Mix in HP as a fabulous public and the mix strengthens. No order ESD St. Marks Greenhill Parish Jesuit ...
Recently I applied to Greenhill and ESD. I live in the Dallas area (McKinney) and go to McKinney Boyd (9th grader) currently. Since it was so competitive to get in I was shocked to be accepted to both. The gifted program at my school is good and I love my teachers and have friends who I don't want to leave, but will of it is In my best interest.
Greenhill won track SPC in 1999,2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2007, which makes it one of the strongest programs in the school's history. In volleyball the two schools tend to vary by year. Greenhill was a powerhouse in the early 2000s and I believe Hockaday won in 2008.
Now, if you have the same group of "usual suspects" applying to Greenhill/St. Mark's and Greenhill/Hockaday, respectively, that's going to produce 2x the applicants for Greenhill, compared to the other two. Unless Greenhill has 2x the spots (and, in general, it doesn't), that would, indeed, make Greenhill more competitive than St. Mark's/Hockaday.

Often, they either apply only to Greenhill (know of at least 20+ families that have done so) or they apply to Greenhill and other co-ed schools (Parish, ESD, Lamplighter, etc.) Personally, I've never known anyone who preferred co-ed education picking St. Mark's or Hockaday over Greenhill if they actually applied and were accepted to both (which ...
