[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isnt Blair just for kids on the Eastern side of Moco? Are there no other magnet HS's in the county?[/quote] Blair is for the southern part of the county. Still has 16 highschools. The "northern" magnet has 9 highschools.[/quote] Don't know how the total enrollment of the two subsets compare but looking county wide there are 200 STEM slots and about 11,000 eighth graders, meaning only 1.8% of eighth graders are admitted. Compare that to the acceptance rate at your W feeder MS. I doubt it's out of line. Ideally in your count of kids accepted to Blair, include everyone from the home MS even those who attended TPMS or Eastern. If you can't do that, use the estimate provided elsewhere that roughly 50% of the incoming Blair class came from TPMS. Which would mean only 0.9% of eighth graders at home MS are accepted. So unless there are well over 300 eighth graders at your DCs school 3 admissions is better than expected.[/quote]
