[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RMIB accepts 120+ students; 20+ are reserved for its feeder school, JW. So it brings in about 100 students from outside. About SAT score, 12xx is inline with the school score. It cannot be RMIB’s score. In fact, I haven’t heard anyone got a score below 1500; mostly 1550+.[/quote]

But I recently heard a mom of a straight-A student at RMIB worrying that her kid couldn’t even break 1450 on the SAT.
There was also a news article saying that Blair SMCS magnet students have the highest SAT average in the country. Honestly, I think Blair is probably always at the top nationwide, and it makes sense. Other states' STEM schools are huge, with 400–800 students per grade, but Blair only has 100 per class, so it’s a super selective group. You don’t have to be amazing at math to get into RMIB, whereas Blair only takes kids who are really good at math. And their English skills are probably similar, right? Kids who are insanely good at math usually do well in English too.
Of course, college admissions aren’t just about SAT scores, and RMIB students do great too, but if we’re talking purely about academic ability, Blair SMCS is one of the top in the nation.
