[quote=Anonymous]Things have shifted a bit over the years. Friends isn't quite the academic powerhouse it was 25 years ago, having priced themselves out of a highly educated but not highly paid demographic that now mostly goes to public schools. Even Park has slipped in that sense. While schools like Gilman and Bryn Mawr had a long history among socially prominent Baltimoreans, even that has changed greatly in the last decade. I'd rank the schools as follows - [b]strictly by academic outcome as measured in college placements[/b], NOT in any sense of superiority, AND it's because the schools get the kids more likely to go to an Ivy, NOT because the schools are able to turn a dullard into an Ivy bound student. Tier 1: Gilman, Bryn Mawr, McDonogh Tier 2: Everyone else. [/quote]
