Would like to hear thoughts on the rigor of the McMullen Scholars program at Calvert Hall compared to academic rigor at Gilman.
And also other (non-academic) opinions sought too -- culture, etc.  I understand very different schools from a religious/non-religious standpoint (we are open to either).  My DS loved his shadow day at both.  Thanks for any input to help with this tough decision.

Academic rigor much higher at Gilman, it isn’t remotely close.  [/quote]

Serious question. How would you know if the rigor of two schools is actually comparable? Two different kids will take the same class and one will find it easy and one will find it hard.

If your kid is getting Bs at Gilman, it doesn't necessarily mean it's rigorous. There are families at ALL the schools who use this excuse for a mediocre report card.

Huh?  My kid is at the top of the class at Gilman and that was my comment.  Calvert Hall is not known for academics.   The curriculum available for the top kids doesn’t match what is available to all kids at Gilman.  I think Mcmullen is probably a great option if you can’t otherwise afford private school.[/quote]
