[quote=Anonymous]The only kids in TJ and Blair (Magnet) are those that tested in in 9th grade from huge pools of students. Their NMSF results are a self-licking ice-cream cone. You can't compare these schools with any other public or privates. Their admits are just different. Maybe the schools have amazing teachers that make them smarter, but that is doubtful. And yes, DC's higher cut-off makes a huge difference considering the population of kids in the DC privates. It's a joke to call it a National Merit test. It's really a State Merit test - students are only evaluated against students going to school in that state, using that state's score.[/quote]
