You mean the 4/10 high school is the strongest?

Yes, Blair also has 10X the National Merit Finalists, Regeneron Scholarships than the other HS. It's head and shoulders over those other schools.

Um, I don't know about that. The fact that it houses a sought-after Magnet program that is already pulling the "best" from the county, but still yields a 4/10 is pretty telling.

It's pretty telling about the uselessness of GS ratings

Considering that GS ratings rate schools on their test scores, college readiness, and how well they serve the academic development of disadvantaged student groups, I say it's pretty useful.

GS ratings are an average and simply reflect an area's average affluence or lack thereof. I found the post quoted below that used demographic cohort as a proxy to isolate for SES differences far more revealing as to how my kids might do at one school or another.

I remember reading the post that showed Blair's SAT average was 50 points higher for the largest common cohort to it and any W.
Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wootton 1262

Your arguments are about what I'd expect from a seventh grader just beginning to learn about public policy, but before leaning the subtleties of it.

I'll put you down for segregationist then.

Sure. Keep that 7th grade argument going.

I mean, if you think Brown v. Board of Education is a 7th grade argument then you're and even worse racist than I thought.

Beyond that, for a good period of time 4 out of 9 council members came from Takoma Park. It is one of the reasons why there was a push to expand the council. All it took to win a council seat was to cater to 10,000 Takoma Park residents which would give you enough votes to make Top 4 in the At-Large Democratic primary which assures that you win the General. 10,000 Takoma Park voters basically controlling the government of a county with 1 million people.

Sounds to me like that's more on the rest of the county. Or perhaps Takoma Park just reflects the county as a whole the way Ohio did for presidential elections for many years.

Omertà! The Takoma Park mafia will get to you if you’re not careful.

It'll be interesting to see how effective they are against MS-13 once the schools are integrated with eastern PG county schools.

FFS, you’ve said this three times now and no one gave you any attention so you’re back. No takoma park schools are not going to be “integrated” with schools in another county so you can keep your racist “MS-13” references for another day.

So you support segregation. Huh.

And when did you stop beating your spouse?

This is a typical east county progressive gaslighting tactic. You're attempting to distract from the fact that you support segregation by throwing a flash-bang. It's not going to work. Answer the question. Do you support desegregation or not?

You keep misusing the word "gaslighting." It does not mean to distract or throw a flash-bang.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gaslight

More gaslighting from this east county progressive. Thank you for making my point for me. So do you support desegregation or not?

People who use dictionaries are "east county progressives"?

OK, so I'll put you down for segregationist. That won't make you very popular at the co-op.

You’re talking to different people. No, no one supports segregation. But keeping country boundaries is not segregation. Why are you even banging on about this? What are you actually talking about? Why do you think there is some move to merge PG with MoCo, other than a desire to troll this thread?

There is a move to desegregate PG and MoCo schools. I started it. And I did so to give east county progressives what they want so dearly, more diversity. So do you support existing segregation or not? If you do then you're a racist. If you don't I encourage you to contact the BOE and let them know you support desegregation busing

The desegregation busing the BOE is interested in is to the W schools. You can try the PG county smokescreen all you want, but the point of emphasis is the complete lack of diversity in the W schools.

That's because they aren't thinking outside the box yet. But they will once MoCo for Change starts pushing them to do it. There will be pressure from PGCPS and maybe even the state.

There only busing the BoE has proposed is realigning adjacencies to even things out between schools and clusters.

And eastern MoCo is adjacent to western PG Co. Quite convenient!

Please keep us posted when you and your movement present your plan during public comments at the BOE meeting. I'll be sure to tune in.

I won't need to. Once I tell Moco For Change they'll be all over it. Those crazy kids and their idealism. And a few emails to western PG county PTAs should get the ball rolling on that end. Eastern MoCo is going to have all the diversity it wants and more.

You've been talking about this for weeks and you haven't even sent the emails yet? I can see why your highest achievement is C- internet troll.

It takes time to find the right people to contact about this. If you truly value diversity, equity, and inclusion you would help this this effort. Do you want to contact the state board of education and suggest it? That would be a big help.

So, no effort on the part of the students? None at all?

I hope it is now clear to everyone that when east county progressives say they want more diversity in their schools, they mean they want more white and Asian kids in their schools. Absolutely disgusting.

They've been quite useful over here in our W school cluster. It's been a wonderful experience.

You're trying to conflate Brown v Board of Ed to busing students between Prince Georges and MoCo? Yep. 7th grade arguments.

7th grade? Please! That is at best a 4th grade and a deranged person argument.

Just about any of the W parents that the DCC crew spews their disdain towards could move to the nicest home IB to any DCC school they chose including Blair at a discount to their current home. Most of the DCC parents can’t afford even the entry point into the non-consortiums schools let alone a SFH at say Whitman, a few maybe but not many. It makes the whole premise of “Blair jealousy” a joke, why would people be jealous of something they could have so easily? You don’t get to pretend that schools packed to the brim with the poorest in the county are some how selective and a privilege.

Blair parents reek of sour grapes that they didn’t want anyway....too sour. Next thing they will tell us is that a Pontiac is just as good as a Cadillac

Such talk makes you look crazy

Crazy is putting it lightly
