[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every few years a high school gets the top pick and the move the all around.  NOVA is complaining about TJ being lower.  No school stays up at the top for long.

RM and Blair being so low for having the top programs shows how poorly those schools are without it.  [/quote]

RM and Blair are in the top 10. How is that low? I guess because the other W's don't have magnet programs and still beat them?

If anything, it shows that those magnet programs really do what they're intended to do which is lift up the performance of those schools, cause I do think you're right, without them, both of those schools wouldn't be in the top 10.[/quote]
It's like saying those W schools wouldn't be as good without all those rich kids.[/quote]

So maybe the ratings are meaningless...[/quote]
It's meaningful if you want your kids to be surrounded by a lot of high achieving kids.  That's not to say that your kid will all of a sudden become high achieving by osmosis, but peer group is important.[/quote]

Every high school in Montgomery County has a group of high-achieving, academically-minded kids.[/quote]
