[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC said to me that Blair STEM magnet kids are really smart but socially awkward.

DC said RMIB kids tend to be more well rounded -- smart in STEM as well as great writers, and they are all involved in various different types of outside activities, not just STEM related.[/quote]

The Blair kids crushed RMIB in NMSF. National Merit Semi Finalists are based on the PSAT test scores. In calculating the scores, the English is doubled and the math is not. Blair is far superior. Those kids are higher in Math and English. Those numbers do not lie. You would think RM would crush Blair, but they never come close. [/quote]

Where’s the data comparing percentages of NMSFs from the magnets from both RM & Blair? Total numbers at a school don’t really matter.[/quote]

The total numbers provide a rough estimate. RMIB has about 125 kids each year and Blair magnet has about 100 total

You can't assume all kids who are NMSF are in those programs because Blair has very bright kids in CAP and in the regular programs and RM too. But in glancing at the list for my child's year at RMIB or Blair magnet I recognize basically every name as being in a magnet. [/quote]
