This is such a weird thing to be passionate about…is this an issue that permeates your day to day life or something?

Especially since the data that the county accidentally leaked a few years ago indicates the opposite. For example, the average SATs for white kids at Blair was higher than white kids at any W and the magnet is 90% Asian.

The white kids didn't have the highest scores in all of MCPS - just at Blair.

No, that demographic at Blair was the highest SAT average in all of MCPS.

Check out page 8 of the county's data.

Thank god for magnets.

Given that it's mostly Asian that wouldn't have any real impact on another demographic but if you need to tell yourself that to feel less bad about your kids school be my guest.

Huh? That’s possibly among the most racist statements I have heard. You seem to imply that Asians are not really human/don’t count. Unbelievable!

Then I went to the Blair magnet open house and the director pointed out that he WOULDNT be showing such a slide, bc he said their focus is on high school, and they’re not obsessed with where kids end up- or something like that.

That really made an impression on me, and I like that Blair doesn’t make a big deal about where their kids go. Agree that many head to UMD for their CS, engineering, sciences.

Maybe because their admissions stats were not that impressive. I went to a CAP presentation years ago, and they did list the college acceptances. Not any more impressive than any other MCPS school. And my DC had friends who did CAP who didn’t even get into UMD-CP. I sure hope those kids enjoyed the program, because it didn’t help get them into college. And no, my kid wasn’t rejected. They didn’t even apply after the presentation as they didn’t see the upside. Had a great experience at a run of the mill DCCC school and got into a top 30 with considerable merit. Oh, and in at UMD too, unlike their CAP friends. Maybe the STEM magnet produces better results.

And yet last year my CAP senior and all of their CAP friends who applied to UMD were accepted. So you have old information.

Because Blair, Wheaton, and Blair are trash high schools with magnet programs to bring up the rear. It’s not politically correct to show that

Now I can see why your dumb kids couldn't make it to the magnets. They are as dumb as you are.
