McDonogh School is a private, coeducational, PK-12, non-denominational school situated on an 800-acre campus in Owings Mills, Maryland. McDonogh enrolls 1,460 students, approximately 75 of whom participate in the Upper School's five-day boarding program.[2] The school employs approximately 190 full-time faculty members, more than 67% of whom hold advanced degrees and more than 50 of whom live on-campus.[3]

Founded in 1873, McDonogh has a long legacy of delivering educational excellence. It is regarded as one of the Baltimore region's most prestigious preparatory schools and has been called a "Power School" by Baltimore magazine.[4] The school's students frequently matriculate to Ivy League and other top-ranked colleges and universities.[5] McDonogh's athletic programs have also seen widespread success, particularly in lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, track, and football, where the school's teams have been nationally ranked in recent years.

The school is a member of the Association of Independent Maryland Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools.[6] [7]
