[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you compare the white students of Einstein to Whitman the SAT scores are the same, FYI. [/quote]

Wait, so it's NOT something magical about the teaching or curriculum at Whitman that makes its students do so well? It's just that middle and upper class white kids tend to do well anywhere, and Whitman has tons of them?

This is not a revelation to me (Einstein cluster) but it bears repeating.[/quote]
Where are you getting your numbers?  If you look at page 19 of this MCPS report
 http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/info/pdf/160929%20SAT%20Exam%20Participation%20Perform.pdf
 it shows that white students had the following scores:
Einstein  1804, Whitman 1917, BCC 1841, Blair 1960, Churchill 1880, Richard Montgomery 1873, Poolesville 1772, Sherwood 1669, Walter Johnson 1815, Wootton 1809

I'm not the person who said they were the same...but those numbers look pretty much the same, maybe with the exception of Sherwood's that are low. Nobody makes a major real estate and life decision based on whether a school averages 1800 or 1900 for your demographic.[/quote]
Holy cow, the white students at Blair are killing it! Makes sense considering probably 90% of them live in the Takoma Park historic district, where houses are more expensive than many Bethesda neighborhoods.[/quote]
