I think its foolish to send your kid to a private school based only on lacrosse, but it sure makes a difference.
There's plenty of good players at a few great public programs like Marriotts Ridge, Glenelg , Severna Park, Broadneck, Century but at end of day IAAM is where the top talent is in area (13 current UMD players from IAAM schools).
Private also has some big advantages, non lax related, look at how Covid was handled as a starter.
That being said, you can very easily end up at same destination and save tons of $ doing public. |
