Blair people also can't reconcile the fact that Poolesville continually is ranked higher in composite school rankings. I'll get called "that Poolesville booster" for this comment. And yet, the rankings speak for themselves. [/quote]

Half of Poolesville's 1,200 students are there because they tested in. And Poolesville is a majority-white (barely), very-low-poverty (6% of students receive FARMs) school. Of course its average test scores/school rankings are higher than Blair's. Is that what you mean by the rankings speaking for themselves?

What I mean is that it's a high-performing school--for all the reasons you pointed out, and that apply to virtually all high-performing schools. My point is Blair and W parents flat-out deny it's high-performing. They don't caveat it the way you did; they just deny its high test scores altogether because they can't handle the fact that upcounty might have a school that outperforms downcounty schools.[/quote]
