We lived ~35-40 minutes from school. Absolute nightmare. We moved and are now 10 minutes away. I will never recommend a long commute. There is a point where it becomes increasingly painful for everyone. [/quote]

Op here, we do like the 5-day boarding option for McDonogh, which is really appealing because of the distance. DS has gone down a boarding school rabbit hole and is interested in other options now, but we're applying for 7th grade and not putting that pressure on him. 
I honestly think that one of the Roland Park schools may be a better option for our daughter, but the commute is a huge con. 
I'd prefer not to move as our mortgage is almost paid in full. [/quote]

We looked at the McDonogh boarding option and there were only four kids in it. We didn't consider it.[/quote]

It declined with Covid and has been expanded to healthy numbers again.  Would love to get my own kids into it.[/quote]

There are 30-40 kids in it, at least,
Maybe more?  It also varies by semester. It's a nice program, Especially if you need to be at school
Early or late. [/quote]
