The real-estate industry has always pushed the narrative of good and bad schools to help inflate home prices, but the evidence for this is superficial. Case and point W parents falling all over themselves to get their kids into Blair. [/quote]

You are misleading people by deliberately ignoring the difference between "Blair Magnet Program" and "Blair".

[b]I haven't heard of any W parents trying to get their kids into the non-magnet part of Blair.

I am not saying Blair is a terrible school - it looks average in the county. So it is still a good school. That's it.

The magnet school is one of the best in the country, that is also well known.

They sure do in the DCC choice program.  It's been stated to me by administration in the choice process that Blair is [u]by far[/u] the most requested non-home-school in the DCC.  It isn't close.  I'm not going to find a source for you so don't believe me if it doesn't fit your narrative.[/quote]

Well, I believe you. But please note that none of the W schools are in the DCC. I do not find it surprising that when given the choice, parent could choose Blair over the other DCC schools (Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, and Wheaton).

In the PP people are comparing Blair and Wootton (or the other Ws).
