[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Mary's - Athletic, Cliquey and the least rigorous private.  If your kid is not athletic and in the "in crowd" - it can be a rough 4 years as the kids can be mean.  If your is athletic and socially tough (and not looking for academic rigor)

Archbishop Spalding - not in Annapolis but many kids in Annapolis go there who may have considered St. Mary's.  More of a big school feel than St. Mary's - more academic opportunities in STEM, athletic power house and kids seem nicer.

Severn - most rigorous of all the schools; athletic but particularly great for elite sports (sailing, rowing etc)

Indian Creek - better for kids with different learning styles or needing a bit more attention; a very kind school.

Key - one of the top schools, not sure as rigorous as Severn - could be.  Extremely liberal which can be a positive or negative.

St. Mary's - ULTRA WHITE, Trumpish, and a tone deaf culture.

Spaulding - BARELY A BROWN FACE IN THE CROWD. But...it works for various people for a myriad of reasons.

Severn - NOT DIVERSE, you may see A FEW, and definitely carried an unearned tone of being "elite"...based on what? I couldn't find it. I've heard

Indian Creek - SOMEWHAT DIVERSE, FAR MORE DIVERSE THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED. The piece about the different learning styles and attention is completely false. Has some brilliant to very normal kids there, just like every other school. Very welcoming. But, if they know and love your family, it'll be an even better experience for you. So, I can see why some might claim nepotism. Nonetheless, I haven't met a family yet who actually attends the school with any complaints. They all say they love it! Liberal environment.

KEY - SOMEWHAT DIVERSE, DOES HAVE VARIOUS STUDENTS OF COLOR REPRESENTED, amazing students and teachers, great curriculum. The parent community seems split - either extremely happy or unhappy with the school. The admissions team leaves a lot to be desired; some aloof personalities. My child attended summer camp there and had a wonderful time. I on the other hand, experienced issues with admissions when they misled us with the title of a program. It was the total opposite of what was advertised. When I sought to get my money back, they went unresponsive. I kept quiet for the sake of my child. Very Liberal environment.[/quote]

Why are you yelling?

I am curious how you have such in-depth knowledge of all of these schools.
