[quote=Anonymous]Like most of the schools in Baltimore, McDonogh is great. Since tuition is covered and the bus fits your schedule, why not give it a go?

There is no question that a bond develops among kids and families who are in school together from those very early years, one that I find far outweighs socio-economic status (at least in Baltimore). So try it and see if that happens for you - if not, you can always move somewhere else.

Very true about McDonogh recruiting athletes, which is a little strange and kind of dispiriting for the home-grown kids who know they'll never get a chance to be varsity. But that's 10 years down the line - who knows how much things will change by then, or if your kid will even care?

I don't know that I buy the line that St. Paul's and/or GFS parents are more conspicuous consumers than anyone else - I feel like that's kind of a false stereotype that stems from their location in Greenspring Valley but isn't borne out by what I see on playing fields there vs. any of the Roland Park schools or McDonogh. I think if you part them all in a line-up, you'd be very hard-pressed to tell a St. Paul's mom from a Bryn Mawr one.[/quote]
