[quote=Anonymous]Park School is REALLY progressive. DH and his brother went there k-12 and are both still somewhat involved. If sports are very important to you and you want an academically competitive environment, Park is not the place. It is a little hippy dippy and loosey goosey. It was great for DH who is super motivated, but not so great for his little brother who is more of a slacker (bro's experiences there are more recent, he graduated from college in 2011).

The community at Park is WONDERFUL. Seriously nurturing and welcoming. Whatever latent talent your child has, someone at Park will figure it out and encourage it. MIL is still pretty involved with many of the parents she became friends with there and the kids stay friends for life (that is also how Baltimore is though, too. People don't leave).

Park has a stronger academic reputation than Friends, but Friends is still a wonderful school.

Park is known for being historically progressive and liberal. It was the first independent school in Baltimore to admit AA students. It is predominantly Jewish. In BIL's HS graduating class of 56 students in 2007, more than half were Jewish. (not saying this is a problem, just noting it. We are AA). [/quote]
