[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not! I clearly recall going to a birthday party at Irvine Nature center for my son's friend who went to St Pauls. He did not get into Gilman despite his dad having gone there and multiple family donations. I was so struck by how slow the kids were. I asked his mom if they "tracked" at at Paul's and she said yes there were three groups. This was confirmed by others. This was clearly the slow class. The parents at this party were all from the county. They all were down to year but not sophisticated at all. I got this same feeling at other parties. When I looked at schools for my daughter I ruled out schools based on this as well.  [/quote]

I live in the county. In a very unsophisticated place called Ruxton. Har har. You do know many if not most of the kids at Gilman and BMS live in the county and Park is in the county? And St. Pauls and McDonogh and Boys Latin have students from the city?

I'm sure we can all agree that certain schools are more popular with progressive urban-dwelling parents, although whether Roland Park, Homeland and Mount Washington are are urban is for a different thread, while other schools are more popular with people who prefer the leafier environs of the county, but you really lost me at sophisticated  :roll: Because if anything, you showed yourself to be very unsophisticated.

Gilman, Park and Friends have taken students who had no business going to these schools and ended up being counseled out. Even Gilman has less than stellar kids who were offered places because dad went to Gilman. WWYD. Sneer about sophistication?[/quote]
