A TPMS parent who had the school directory claimed the largest group there had Silver Spring addresses so this makes sense that Blair would be similar.

At Blair SMAC the high school that sends the most students is actually Wootton. I remember it coming up at a Blair Magnet information meeting I actually find there are tons of students coming from Rockville, Bethesda and Potomac as well as kids zoned for Blair and Northwood.

Yes, Wootton is the largest feeder to Blair SMAC. Wootton is further out than Whitman or Churchill but there seems to be less concern among the Wootton crowd about the overall environment and location of Blair.

The magnet student directory indicates this isn't accurate.

I thought Wootton was second after TP..which makes sense.[/quote]

Wootton is a high school cluster and TPMS is a middle school. In the past some Wootton kids used to go to TPMS as well as Frost and Cabin John.

In the past Wootton was the largest out of boundary feeder into TPMS. In boundary TPMS was equally or a little higher but those were and still are set aside seats for in boundary students that do not need to compete against the other schools for a spot. For Blair SMACs, some of the Wootton kids would have been coming from TPMS. Blair SMACs doesn't have the easier to get in set aside seats so the in boundary TPMS kids didn't necessarily get in. Now that Wootton can't send kids to TPMS, you'll see Frost and Cabin John become the highest feeder schools unless they change the high school admissions.

Churchill has lots of kids that could get in but there has always been less interest in Blair from this cluster.
