[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Regardless, it's safe to say that Blair and RM are easily the strongest high schools in the county.[/quote]

[/b]The only people who would safely say that are the few Blair and RM cheerleaders who have been having a pissing contest the past few pages.[/quote]

Their specialty programs might be, but their regular HS program/population is not.  There is a huge minority population and test scores, the drug/crime scene, and level of overall school spirit is quite low![/quote]

[b]This is absolutely written by someone who does not have a child at Blair.  There is a previous post by a parent whose home school is WJ but whose child goes to Blair who said the exact opposite.  If you are wrong about Blair, you are probably wrong about RM.

Agree with this.  As a poster on another thread noted, magnet kids typically take half their classes with the general school population (English, Social Studies, Foreign Language and Electives).  Granted these are high achieving kids and so they are typically taking honors or AP level classes which means they are in these non magnet classes with the best students in the regular population but the point the PP made stands that the quality of non-magnet and non-CAP classes at Blair are comparable to the quality of these same classes in a W school.  
A parent who is zoned for a W school with a kid at Blair who thinks Blair is an excellent school with great academics, a healthy social environment and good school spirit.  The school admin does a great job in celebrating the diverse accomplishments of[b] all [/b]the kids who attend Blair.  It is one of the things that makes the school special.  [/quote]
