OP here - I think in either case we would be at Blair (again more concerns about the special programs and how it feels to be not special / what the peer groups are like in general classes).[/quote]

There is just a little slice of DTSS within the SSIMS catchment zone that articulates to Blair.  Maybe this is where you are looking to move, but if your preference is Blair then you're better off in the TPMS catchment.  We live near SSIMS, we have a kid there and we are big SSIMS boosters, but all things being equal, we'd probably send our kid to TPMS over SSIMS.  It's not just that the building sucks, but the possible closure and related issues are just so uncertain.  It would be nice to not worry about those things!

Also, we have lots of friends in Takoma Park who are not in the magnet, and I honestly haven't heard any feedback about the non-magnet kids being looked down upon.  But I think you need to hear from non-magnet families themselves about their experience.
