[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let us not try to dissolve everything into a discussion about race.

The facts are clear.  Most of Blair accomplishments are tied to the magnet which is a school within a school.  Like similar programs elsewhere the magnet is predominantly Asian.

The Intel/Rengeron winners tend to be immigrants and predominantly Asian.

The reasonable conclusion is that Blair High School has little to do with their success.  The magnet has a research project course that pushes these students to participate in science fairs.  It is not something other high schools have.  Hence the magnet shines in an area that it has a monopoly.

Your so-called facts are fogged.

The Magnet is a program within the school. Magnet students take non-magnet classes and non-magnet students can and do take magnet classes.

Many of the Blair winners are not Asians.

The majority of HS in the nation (Whitman, Churchill, Sidwell Friends, River hill, Centennial), every Magnet school, every STEM schools participate in the science talent search. Blair magnet does not have a monopoly. The all-magnet schools have more resources than Blair which is a "part-time" magnet. Blair just produce more winners.

You sound jealous and hurt by Blair success.
