[quote=Anonymous][quote]The GS ratings are just about the percentage of kids who met the state's benchmark. Although about 10% of Blair's population is out of boundary magnet kids, its impact just isn't that great.[/quote] 10% is huge and that 10% is at the top. If you moved Blair's 10% out of boundary into Wheaton or Kennedy or Einstein you would see an immediate change in scores and ratings. You would see further change over time as more DCC parents who want the best schools they can afford would try to buy homes in the school with the magnet population. Blair's magnet programs may really help Blair be perceived as better than it is but they hurt the other DCC schools by drawing away talent. [/quote]
