[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, [b]her post attempted to isolate for socioeconomic differences across these schools by simply comparing the largest common cohort performs as a way to see how the schools actually stack up as opposed to which school has the richest or poorest demographic mix.[/b][/quote]

This goes exactly to the original SAT poster's point that simple averages are misleading and by performing a more granular analysis of a single common cohort we can see how the schools stack up.  :D

[b]How is it determined that Blair is the "most diverse" school in Maryland?[/b]

Thanks for remembering to include Poolesville. Although it's less than third Blair's size, it houses the other STEM magnet. Your approach is helpful because the schools are demographically very different. Poolesville is very homogenous whereas Blair is the most diverse school in Maryland. This is the best way to get a meaningful comparison between these schools with the data that is available.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure Blair has been ranked the most diverse in MD by a number of places including Niche.

Diverse and high-performing. Clearly the best of both worlds.[/quote]

It's amazing that Blair consistently outperforms these schools in any apples to apples comparison. [/quote]

True, naively looking at demographic differences creates a false narrative. Their more granular analysis which isolates for socioeconomic differences is  meaningful, unlike the averages which mainly tell us about an areas affluence.[/quote]
