RMIB takes applicants from whole county so naturally, more students can apply.   In addiiton, RMIB students attent all classes, except PE and music, with their peers, which means you get the best teachers and peers for your English and Social studies,  as well as your science and math classes.  [b]In Blair SMAC, the students take English, Social studies, and foreign language classes with the local students.  The student body in any given class is heterogeneous, and some of the teachers hardly teach anything in class[/b].

This is only accurate re: magnet kids taking humanities classes with non-magnet kids.  (Those kids may or may not be "local" depending on whether they are CAP students.)

As a practical matter, the core humanities classes (English, history) tend to be all or almost all magnet kids, because that is how things shake out with the magnet schedule.  Other, non-core humanities classes (philosophy) are truly mixed, which I am told is a positive thing because having other people in your classes is a breath of fresh air.

My magnet junior DC says that one of the best teachers he has had is his English teacher.  The only teacher he complains about vis-a-vis "hardly teaching anything in class" is a magnet teacher.[/quote]
