[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pro, it’s coed and has reasonably rigorous academics available, strong theater program, beautiful campus Cons: lots of kids coming from a distance in all directions leads to a less cohesive community, [b]traditionally a social divide between the recruited/top athletes and everyone else, [/b]limited opportunities for average athlete to participate in sports, traditionally matriculation for recruited athletes much better than for rest of class.

Tends to draw more conservative families than other privates (along with Saint Paul’s).[/quote]

This is very true. The girls basketball team is crazy good, but sounds as if they completely keep to themselves. The campus is gorgeous, it feels like a college. Like many privates, there are great people associated with the school, and there are people who want to be sure to let you know they send their kids there. If your daughter likes it and you can afford it, she will be on a good trajectory. Having said that, I have sent three kids to schools other than McDonogh[/quote]

Curious, why did you chose other schools over McDonogh?[/quote]

They didn’t like the fit there quite as well as others. Plus about a 25-minute farther ride each way, each day. Loyola, Bryn Mawr, no complaints. Great fit for us and they have thrived there. There is no one right answer [/quote]

What factors were involved in determining the fit, besides the distance? [/quote]
