[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone can answer the admissions portion of your question. To know “competitiveness” you have to know how many applied and how many accepted, no one knows those numbers.

I can speak to Mcdonogh middle school.  DD applied to Bryn Mawr too (was accepted with merit aid) but like mcd better. It’s been a great year so far. You test into a math level based on your isee scores (or you can request a placement test). I can’t speak to every kid there, but my daughter’s friends are really nice, smart, athletic, and engaged. I don’t know all of their parents well, but they too seem very grounded. I know parents at all the local private schools and the mcd people seem the most grounded and least snobby to me. I know lots of families at lots of different schools around town and the feel of mcd was a good fit for us and our daughter.  I don’t really know what else to tell you.  The academics are top notch - we have very high expectations and our kid was 8,9,9, 8 on the ISEE - and the teachers really care about your kids. there is lots of physical activity throughout the day (PE 10 out of 12 days, recess everyday, and sports at every level.). The campus is beautiful, they just got a huge gift to rebuild the middle school, and SAFE. I feel better having. My kids outside the city center and there is tons of security. 
It’s just a great school.  We considered Bryn Mawr, but my daughter didn’t like the girls, we (as parents) don’t think segregation of the genders serves any positive purpose for kids. [/quote]
