[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not good. I may offend some folks but it's a ghetto school. [/quote]
I'm probably on your side on many things because I too don't mind offending folks.  But, I don't think you have any first hand knowledge of Blair.  "Ghetto" creates an image of run down uncared-for facilities with no chance of success.  Not true at all.  I have two there - one Magnet one Not.  Blair is so big that it has different communities within the same school.  Many, many kids self segregate and as a freshman they learn to stay away from certain areas of the school.  My non-magnet child is taking all honors classes so, in general, there aren't many disruptions.  Depending on the choice, electives offer more socioeconomic diversity which I'm all for.    Neither of my kids have any interest in going to the lunchroom or even to the 1st floor during lunch.  During lunch, they hang out with their wonderful friends (of all colors mind you) on the 3rd floor or use the lunch our to meet with their teachers.

The bottom line is that if you live in the DCC, Blair should absolutely be your child's first choice.  Unfortunately, because most people in the DCC already know this, it's difficult to get into Blair if it's not your home school.[/quote]
