A recent thread here put it in the "Big 3" equivalent of Baltimore. It is co-ed so that distinguishes it in the area from Gilman and Bryn Mawr.

I’d say Park over Mcdonogh, based on academic rigor. Mcdonogh has more of a spread of kids in academic ability than the others.

Park has a very progressive vibe, great for some kids, awful for others. I would not say academically way more rigorous than McD, it comes down to taste and fit whether you thrive there

Progressive educational approaches is always a binary, it either works for you or it doesn't. Saying Park is rigorous is a chicken or egg situation. Which came first, the student or the school? For Park parents, it can be preaching to the choir - overeducated parents getting an educational approach for highly capable kids and when the kids do well, they pat themselves on the back and say it's a rigorous education!

At the end of the day, all big Baltimore private schools are capable of educating their students to perform well at the best colleges in the country. The differences is just the spread of capabilities across the student body. Some schools just have more better performing students than others. That's why fit, more than the college placement record or SAT average, is key to a student's happiness at a school.

This is very true.

Nowhere near as much as Gilman, a distant second.

Please elaborate with details.

Gilman has more current systemic child rape issues, so the PP feels it is a better school.

Mcdonogh has more than its share of thar as well

No, that is not true.

Back in the 1980s? - sure, everyone knows about assistant headmaster Major Levy.

That case brought massive systemic changes, resulting in an exceptionally monitored and safe environment at McDonogh.

Umm, guess you are unaware of the parent who was found guilty of rape for having a sexual relationship with student on school grounds, within the past 5 years.
