Not starting a fight hopefully… just looking for some different perspectives from the local lacrosse parent


What’s the vibe… hmmm… liberal. Nerdy. Terrific facilities. Blah colors.

That’s a non McD parent take.

Open to conservatives if your kid is well educated and can defend his position. A little bit of Daniel in the Lion's Den is good for this generation. Civil educated discourse is encouraged and required. Be prepared to be challenged academically. Collegiate level time management skills are required to be a high performing three sport athlete and take multiple APs. Five day boarding option is great if you live far away. Has a better campus than most of the Ivies I've visited. Unless you're stuck on the single sex model or have to be at a religiously affiliated school, this is the best college prep option available in the Bmore region. Really tough to get into the School. If you get in, accept....
