How bad are the public schools in Maryland? From BOTC comments it seems like none of the parents even consider for a second sending their kids to the public high school.
There is a lot to unpack in this discussion. The demographics of lacrosse families make them far more likely to consider private schools. The people on this board generally have kids playing on mid to high level club teams where the majority of kids go to private schools.
There are a handful of solid public school teams that occasionally can compete with the 15-20 strong lacrosse private schools. The public schools just don't have the depth to do it consistently. Outside those 5-10 strong public school programs, schools struggle to field two teams with kids that have never played before regularly making varsity. A typical HoCo elite 2028 team would destroy most public varsity teams.
