If you kid is not an Elite player on an Elite team, he has no shot at playing at BL. Boarding has changed the landscape at BL
Its really not that nice of a school anyway... The facilities are not on par with some of the better populated schools in the MIAA... But if you want your kid to be glossed over his senior year by a transfer from another State....by all means go for it....

OK OK, not a BL dad but I have to point out - this scenario can happen at any school. Especially if your son is playing at a level where he needs 12th grade highlight film. I tell every lax parent about this downside of private school. Another kid can just roll in, and you have zero notice, zero wait time, etc.

And honestly the facilities at BL are "fine." It's similar to Friends School down the street. Loyola's new fields and new middle school are hard to ignore. St. Pauls is inexplicably always nice, as is McDonogh, Gilman. I'm sure CHC has another construction project coming up soon, if one is not underway currently.
