[quote=Anonymous]I’ve had one that attended Blair after Takoma, and one that attended Blair after home middle school. They both LOVED Blair. It used to be that 50% of blair was filled with TPMS kids, but with the new criteria, those numbers have gone down. My non TPMS kid had a harder time at first finding his group, though they NEVER Regretted their decision to attend. Going to a magnet doesn’t automatically get you into a IVY obviously (because there are 100 kids and 7 ivies so you do the math). What it does do however is A) make you better prepared for college B)enables kid to get into more top programs C)get more merit money/scholarships.  Blair is HuGe , so their counselors work with all kids not just magnet, so dont expect a lot of individualized college help- that is not happening. RMIB used to have counselors specific to their IB kids, don't know if that is still the case or not. Our family could not have been happier with Blair. My kids would have been fine anywhere, but they THRIVED at Blair. [/quote]
