US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys High School

Looking to send my 8th grader to a private hs in the MIAA.
Any chance we could rank the teams from most liberal to most conservative?
Our family has a certain political leaning and we want to send our son to a similar thinking school.
Thanks in advance.

The Catholic schools are less Left leaning obviously.

Obviously, because WWJD.

Easy peasy.
Most liberal (11) to most conservative (1)

11. Gilman
10. McDonough
9. St Paul's
8. Severn
7. Loyola
6. Boys Latin
5. John Carroll
4. St Mary's
3. Calvert Hall
2. MSJ
1. Spalding




100% accurate by poster. Catholics are always going to be most conservative. For the non catholic schools BL is by far the most conservative. Only send your son to Gilman or MCD if he is interested in transitioning or becoming a lifelong social justice warrior.

At one end: A belief system based on stone age folklore oriented toward the control of free thought and expression. Especially attractive to those who are outwardly focused, lack introspection, and take pleasure in telling others how to live their lives while failing to apply said rules to their own behavior. See also: theocracies, cults, messianic faiths, racism, and misogyny.

At the other: A belief system based on facts, modern science, and accumulated knowledge that encourages people to pursue happiness so long as said pursuit doesn't interfere with the lives of others. See also: critical thinking, reason, emotional maturity, fully developed pre-frontal cortex.

Who cares about the number of D1 recruits. How many of those D1 recruits actually see the field? THAT is the stat of value.

Wow, anti-Christianity posts are approved at BOTC?

Spalding leading the way in D1 recruits. Wow have the times changed.

Not even close... multiple schools have more.

Spalding seems to have 11 D1 commits for the 2025 class. Who has more than that?

Spalding is TERRIBLE. BL. CH & McD have more commits in their 24/25 classes then Spalding.

Does McD have any former players currently playing
for a top Division 1 program? Not just on a team but actually play a significant amount of minutes per game?
BL has Brandao at Yale
Gilman has King at Harvard
McD gets players recruited but doesn’t prepare their players
for D1.

There are a lot of miaa kids out there starting on D1 teams. Tons more on d1 rosters.
It's a fool number when you consider there are only 11 miaa teams.
