[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to PPs for the Blair HS recommendation!  I would not have known as the Greater School rating is a 5 out of 10  :( 
I like the racial distribution a lot but this school is big, no?

I'm not the PP, but Blair is enormous and the size can mask a lot of good things happening there. I don't have kids at Blair, but I am in-bounds. All of the Blair kids I know (and it's all of the high school aged kids in the neighborhood over the last decade) are successful, well-adjusted, socially conscious and engaged, and go on to great colleges and universities.

If the GS score scares you, I get it, but I would put it on your list of schools to get to know a bit better and go beyond the score. Click around the website, look at student government and other initiatives and note the critical mass of high-performing kids of color. It's a pretty special place.

It sounds like any HS in MCPS which has the diversity the OP needs, would work fine?[/quote]
