Still the Big 3 in Baltimore?[/quote]

I’d put Park over Mcdonogh.[/quote]

Park parents love Park. You really have to like Park and the progressive spirit they preach. McDonogh has more cachet and greater range of student types. McDonogh has kids who'd fit at Park and kids who'd fit at Boys Latin, whereas those two schools are so mutually exclusive to each other in personalities. I'd place McDonogh solidly in the top three along with Gilman and Bryn Mawr as schools that have the biggest cachet combined with reputation for athletics and sports. [/quote]

Pp and not a Park parent, my kids go to the trischool.  Park may not be for everyone but the level of academic rigor is consistently high

Mcdonogh definitely number one for sports, they recruit extensively and it helps greatly with their matriculation as they have a very high number of kids going to college as athletic recruits.  But the overall level of academic rigor is a step down from the other three schools and more on par with Saint Paul’s and Friends, serving a range of ability levels.  [/quote]
