Ok so here are some numbers:
Blair has 2966 students.  23% White, 15.5% Asian, 25% AA and 32% Hispanic and some MU etc.  
Also 36.5% FARMS and 15.5% ESOL which I would agree makes high academic achievement challenging even with good teachers and a healthy offering of rigorous coursework outside of the magnet program.
The magnet has 415 students which is 14% of the school population so first of, the majority of the 38.5% White and Asian students at Blair are non magnet.  
Regarding the SAT scores by ethnic group and how this compares to the other DCC schools here are some numbers.  It is comparable to Einstein for BL students but Hispanic students seem to do better at Blair.  There are also more clubs and after school activities at Blair.  Lots of reasons why so many DCC families put Blair down as their first choice even if their kids are not magnet bound:
