    "In terms of academics, I think Spalding is lacking. They have a range of levels in classes, but I was only really academically challenged starting senior year. Since then, involvement in AP classes have increased the difficulty and volume of my workload. Teachers in general are average. Most of the AP teachers are good, though. The english, math, and history departments are the comparatively the strongest, while the science department is very weak. Foreign language is largely Spanish, with single teachers for french and latin. Sports are stressed, but the Music department is amazingly dedicated, with many talented students. Unfortunately, the administration doesn't seem to recognize this as the facilities and budget provided to the music department are embarrassingly poor, while the sports teams recently got a new football field, track, gym, and workout room. Unfortunately, the archdiocese seems to control quite a bit of Spalding's policies, although it doesn't contribute much to the school monetarily. This results in daily religion classes and school-wide masses - all without any clear moral improvement to the student body. Religion is definitely the school's biggest downside."

    "Freshman year was my first year at Spalding and my first year in Maryland. I found friends very quickly even though I am on the quiet side. The big plus for me was that a Spalding has a wide range of kids that differ personality wise. You will not have any trouble finding your group that shares the same interests as you. There are also a ton of clubs here and sports to choose from. Plus, Spalding kids are very friendly and accepting of people. The only downside is the strictness of the administration here, and sometimes it can be a little annoying. If you are coming from a public school, this may take some getting used to. The other thing you should know is that there is no air conditioning here, so if it is 90+ degrees outside, they will close the school or let you out early...which is nice at times. The other thing is that Spalding is a very Catholic school and teaches conservative values in Religion class, but there is a good amount of liberals here too. Spalding kids also tend to be more from upper class families. But I guess the real reason that I like Spalding so much, is that I found it easy to make friends here."

    "Spalding has a great academic, athletic and religious life environment. The faculty and staff go out of their way to help the students in any way possible. The majority of the students are good hearted and well rounded. Great school!"

    "While Spalding is definitely a private school, there is high rate of diversity, more so than other private schools. Spalding's academics are very much suited to the class you are taking (e.g. all the kids in the class are on the same level.) Spalding has a wealth of clubs and sports programs, so there is something for everyone to get involved in. Some complain about the tuition and the rules, but Spalding is very much a laid back school and there are really not a lot of rules to abide by. Some public school transfers complain about the rules and the structure, but they say that is 'just because there aren't drug busts or fights.' I would recommend Spalding to any student that wants to be challenged athletically, academically, and has a desire for interaction with other students and a large group of friends."

    "We sent all three of our children to Spalding and have never regretted it. All three blossomed into well rounded, productive individuals who went on to fine universities with scholarships. Many of the other comments mention the athletic program as being great. It is but one area where Spalding excels. Their music program is TOP NOTCH and the 'unsung hero' of the school. Spalding may not be perfect but it's a far cry from the public school environment of today. Discipline is firm but fair and reasonable. Your child will get out of this school what they put into it."
