[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a DD in the 6th grade and DS in the 8th grade, both whom eat, breathe, and sleep basketball. DD also plays softball and loves the arts(very into visual arts and plays piano and flute). DS plays soccer in addition to basketball, but doesn't have any other extracurricular interests outside of sports. We are in an awesome private now(in a totally different area), but will relocate to either DC or Baltimore next school year. From my research, it seems like most of the Catholic schools meet our requirements, but I'm not looking for a school with a religious aspect. Also DD is a way stronger student than DS, so I don't think that she'll have an issue getting into the top schools. So I'm finding it difficult to pick a school that fits both of their needs. DH and I like what we've heard about GDS so far and possibly Holton and Landon. We haven't looked much into the Baltimore schools, however we would like settle on one in the Roland Park area. Any other suggestions?[/quote]

Sidwell Friends school has good girls' and boys' basketball programs.  Very strong academically but also selective -- a lot of applications.  If you're open to single-sex, you might look at NCS (girls) and St. Albans (boys), which share a campus.  Both schools have solid basketball programs and are excellent academically.  Although NCS isn't a powerhouse, if you're a great player at a school like NCS (or Sidwell) you will absolutely get noticed -- the Josh Hart example from Sidwell (helped lead Villanova to a National Championship last year and is a dominant force this year) and two recent NCS grads who are playing at Stanford and Princeton demonstrate that.

I don't know as much about Baltimore -- I went to college with some great women who went to Roland Park Country School and their brothers went to Gilman, so that's a pairing you'll often find, I think.

Good luck with your move.[/quote]
