I will give the lax dads of the 2026s props...compared to the 2027s, there is not as much of (at this moment), "Well my son is HIGHLY recruited and got a personal call from X coach at X HS."
That being said, it's a hard process, even with Lax Eliteness. From what I know of past years, % admission to the various HS is not a walk in the park. The least restrictive......Curley and MSJ, accept about 50% of applicants. The academically more prestigious large MIAA-A schools (Gilman, McD, Loyola) accept about 25%. Severn, St Marys, St Pauls and BL.......I think closer to 10% these days because the middle schools are swelling with kids whose parents got fed up with public schools during covid. Not an indicator of athletic or academic eliteness but certainly competitive.
A few of those schools MAY only accept 10% at the HS level. But it's all a shell game-
Most Baltimore locals also know that some of those super selective schools let almost ANYONE in at the Middle school and 8th grade level.
Were you denied HS admissions at our "selective" school? Do you have questionable middle school grades heading into HS?
Just retake 8th grade...with us!
Where do you think "academic" and "development" holdbacks originally came from?
It's been happening at some of these schools for DECADES.
