[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm taking away from all the posts on the Baltimore independent schools is that despite what people may say, there is a clear hierarchy of schools by academics:

Tier I: Gilman/Bryn Mawr
Tier II: Park, maybe McDonogh 
Tier III: RPCS, Friends, St. Paul's
Tier IV: Boys Latin, Garrison Forest

The Catholic schools are somewhat different due to mission so can't be pigeonholed neatly, so Loyola would encompass Tiers II through IV. Once you understand this, then you have the answers to all your questions one way or another.

-Gilman/ Bryn Mawr have the well earned reputation as being pressure cookers.

-I would lump the bulk of the rest together.  They have their own philosophies/ education methods/ niches but all serve a wider range of kids when it comes to academic ability.  [b]There some kids coming out of these schools with an experience as rigorous as anything Gilman/BW can offer,[/b] but a lot more with something less (not that that's a bad thing).

-I will single out Boys Latin because they historically served a lot of boys who couldn't make it at the other independents (During my time in HS it was common to refer to their sports teams as the Idiots instead of the Lakers).  The current administration has done wonderful job reinventing their offerings.

This is true.  I would change the word some to A LOT. [/quote]
