[quote=Anonymous]Blair has a bunch of negatives against it. Its very small. Your kid is in a small island of smart kids surrounded by kids who are average to dropping out. At TJ everyone is smart. There are incidents and gangs at Blair. TJ is pretty crime free. The non-magnet classes are not very rigorous and designed more for the rest of Blair. This is great if your kid only wants to focus on STEM but not great if your kid is more well rounded. At TJ everyone is smart and the courses all reflect this. Blair pushes and encourages public competitions and since the program is so small kids are pressured to participate. This is good because spots are easier to get but bad if your child is terrified of competitions. At TJ you have to work harder to make the team but if you don't want to compete you can still succeed. Blair has connections within MD but few outside MD. TJ is more plugged into west coast and up the eastern seaboard opportunities. [/quote]
