[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was accepted to St. John’s next school year. Her zoned public is Blair and she currently attends middle school in MCPS. We’re contemplating making the switch to private for highschool. She’s bright but didn’t get into CAP or the STEM Magnet.

She is leaning towards Blair but I’m a bit worried because the school is so large and I’m wondering how kids not in the magnet have thrived. Has anyone had kids in both schools to compare?

Also does Blair allow families to tour? We went to the accepted students night at SJC and loved the facilities. [/quote]

SJC will have usable and open bathrooms.[/quote]

The academics are stronger at Blair. SJCHS thought my son was a math genius after he took the entrance exam. The math chairperson at SJCHS even called me, excited about his results, after the exam, and said they might have to send him to Catholic U for his upper math in his junior and senior years. He was good in math and had the benefit of geometry at TPMS. He was in a group of juniors and seniors tutoring his classmates in math during his freshman year at SJCHS.

He missed his friends from MCPS, so we switched to Blair sophomore year. He was assigned into the lower calculus class for his junior year after precalc at Blair his sophomore year tracked him lower.
