[quote=Anonymous]We are incoming 9th to Blair SMCS and just noting for OP that this is exactly what Ostrander emphasized at the open house (at the end, when we were all back in the auditorium).  He said don't come here to get straight A's, or to get into an amazing college.  Come because you think it sounds like an incredible experience.  Your kid will be a top student at their home school, but maybe not at Blair SMCS.  They might get all A's at their home school, but maybe not at Blair SMCS.  You have to accept that, if you want to do the program. But they WILL no doubt be better prepared for college then if they went to their home school.  He didn't brag about where kids get into school (like many other HS do) but we know that every year there are kids who get into MIT, CM, and many other "top" schools but also of course lots of other great schools including UMD.  For us, we are going in eyes open, but having decided that the amazing teachers, courses, and electives (as PP noted), that you literally cannot get anywhere else in MCPS, are just too good to pass up.[/quote]
