[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These endowments are [b]all on the low side[/b], even at the top of the list.  [/quote]

This depends on what you are comparing to, of course. [/quote]

They're not low if you compare to other areas populated like the DC area (vs NY or LA, etc.). Also boarding schools are not comparable -  apples to oranges.  Anything 10 million plus isn't low, even 5 million plus is high when comparing nationwide.[/quote]

Um, the DC schools have half the endowment of the top Baltimore schools.  That isn’t surprising to you?[/quote]
The Baltimore Boarding Schools have been around for generations and the ones you're referring to pre-date the city's massive decline.  "Old money." a historic era including the family of the likes of Nancy Peloski, Wallis Simpson, etc.. [/quote]

Gilman is not a boarding school, its endowment is $180 million.  Even the Baltimore girl’s day schools, for which giving is always more restrained, are up there with the top DC privates.  [/quote]
