[quote=Anonymous]Blair has two test-in programs: the math/science magnet, and the communication arts program. Most of the NMSSFs come from the math science magnet, to be sure. But some come from the CAP program, and a handful come from the regular programs. The math/science magnet selects about 1 in 7 applicants. The CAP program selects about 1 in 5 applicants. So both are elite groups of public school kids. Both math/science and CAP have their own courses, about 4 out of the 8 classes that Blair kids take in a semester. For the other courses, these kids generally take honors and AP. So the math/science kids take 3-4 special science courses that are designed just for them, and then honors English classes and honors/AP government classes. Ditto for the CAP kids, who take 3/4 CAP classes and then honors math and science courses. (I've got a kid in one of these programs....)[/quote]
