All I know is the [b]average SAT score for my kid's cohort at Blair[/b] even not including magnet students is still better than any W.[/quote]

Funny, Blair's scores are so low compared to the rest of the county, there must only be a precious few of your cohort there and not enough to move the needle. Shame most of them go home west after school hours compounding your kid's unicorn status [/quote]

That is funny because the county's data shows otherwise.

[b]Blair 1326 [/b]
BCC 1291
Walter Johnson 1275 
Wooton 1262 
Churchill 1257

I remember reading this a while ago. Their intent was to look past simple averages that GS uses which serve only to identify which high-schools draw a higher percentage of rich kids., and provide a better, refined analysis that looks at the granular data.

When you isolate for race which is proxy a for socioeconomic status there is not much of a disparity between the performance of kids of the same backgrounds across these schools. For example, when you compare average SAT scores for MCPS schools for a larger demographic common to all these schools where the great schools narrative begins to fall apart and it becomes clear they're not all that different.

If that's true than the socioeconomic difference  between W's and SS ( which there almost certainly has to be a difference) has no impact on scores for some groups.[/quote]
