[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a lot to contribute to this thread, because we are new to Baltimore and our son isn't old enough for us to be visiting/applying yet. But I just wanted to thank OP for the thread. This, along with a few of the previous threads on Baltimore schools, helps us to get a better sense for our options. We are not near to decision making yet, but we are trying to gain as much information as we can and try to plan financially. (And decide what, if any, pre-K year we should be considering.)

PP, if it makes you feel any better, when/if we apply to Gilman, we'll be very much ordinary folks with no family history in Baltimore or family history of attending privates. We're just to working class kids who educated ourselves into professional jobs (with the loans to prove it) and consequently have a strong commitment to education. Maybe we're outliers, but maybe we're also indicative of a certain subset of parents who come out of the woodwork to submit applications. If we don't apply to Gilman, it will only be because my progressive educational colors show, and I come to prefer the idea of Park, Montessori, or home education for the elementary years.

Cheers and best luck to all![/quote]
