Not true, The majority aren’t even from the DCC let alone Blair. Most feed from Takoma but those aren’t all inbounds. They wouldn’t be majority either if it wasn’t for the set aside seats. They have to anchor 25 seats for TP or they would be taken up on merit by west county kids.

Correct, the majority of Blair Magnet students are from Takoma which is in the DCC and boundary for Blair.

I don't think that is the case. The Blair magnet students have about half from Takoma. So that leaves the other half definitely not from the Blair boundary. For those from Takoma, many are from the TPMS magnet program and not in-bound either.

So overall, students from the Blair boundary are certainly not the "majority".

Sorry to burst your bubble, but they are...

Blair is a ghetto school they bribe out of are kids to attend, TJ is a competitive institution where everyone earned their way there.

Let me think about which one is better I don’t even know why we are talking about it considering just about everyone with a choice pays not to go to Blair. I mean if people wanted to go to Blair they could just buy a cheap home on the cheap side of town. But they don’t. That says all you need to know

In boundary Blair students have never been the majority. Considering how many schools SMAC pulls from why would anyone even think that was true, let alone try to keep pushing it as a new myth or something.

I am really hoping this part of the thread is a joke between two posters fooling around. Who really cares?? Either about which school is harder to get into OR where Blair magnet kids live. If anyone is so desperate to know call the magnet office.

The magnet serves an area designated for several high schools, but the largest geographical area represented is TP/SS. After that Rockville. In-boundary students don't comprise more than 50% -- the program draws from many high schools, but they seem to be the largest segment.

Oh, hello again, Bitter W mom! You're such a bag of laughs and gags. You must get invited to a lot of parties. As for the idea that "everyone with a choice pays not to go to Blair," tell that to all the kids in Potomac, Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg and even Burtonsville who bus every day just to get to that "ghetto school."
