True, I remember reading the post that showed Blair's SAT average was 50 points higher for the largest common cohort to it and any W. Some people argued but the magnet which was ridiculous because it's a small program in a large school that's also mostly Asian. It goes to show that Blair envy is a real thing.

Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wootton 1262
Churchill 1257

It's nice to see a direct comparison between cohorts to account for demographic differences to see how these schools to see how they really stack up. Guessing there may be two dozen out of boundary magnet students in this mix but that shouldn't really change the bigger picture by more than 20-30 points. [/quote]

Yes, the grade has 100 magnet students, A dozen or more in-boundary anyway and fewer than 30 are included in this cohort so yes the impact is pretty negligible. [/quote]

Perhaps, it goes to show that the same kid will do well at any school, but regardless it's fascinating that using demographic cohort as a proxy for SES differences paints a very different picture than a simple average. [/quote]
