[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair has 36 NMSF last year. GDS had 4. [/quote] Blair has a magnet program that takes the top kids in the county, so this outcome is not terribly surprising or remarkable in light of that, especially given that Blair's student population is about 6.5 times larger than that of GDS. [/quote] Most of the Blair NMSF come from its tiny magnet program SMCS, which is similarly sized to GDS. [/quote] If what you are saying is true, wouldn't that mean 36 out of 100 kids were NMSF? If so, kudos to Blair. But again, they are not apples to apples. GDS has lifers, siblings, etc. and isn't using the same criteria for admission as a county-wide highly competitive magnet. One could also argue that someone admitted to Blair might more easily rise to the top at GDS than at Blair, so wouldn't that be an advantage? [/quote]
