Actually, that's not true. Let’s eliminate the out of boundary magnet scores from that cohort's SAT average at Blair to see how the general population at these schools stack up by minimizing the impact of demographic differences. This seems sensible given that Blair is the most diverse school in the state whereas Wooton is one of the segregated schools.

1526 Blair Magnet SAT average public knowledge
1326 Blair SAT average score for common cohort from the report
250 total number of kids from the cohort that took SAT according to report
32 number of OOB magnet kids from the cohort that took the SAT (40% of OOB 80 students belong to this cohort = 32)
where “x” is Blair’s in boundary SAT average for largest common cohort

(250 - 32) / 250 = 87% non-magnet cohort total
13% magnet % of cohort total

0.87x + 0.13 * 1526 = 1326
0.87x + 198.38 = 1326
0.87x = 1326 – 198
x = (1326 – 198) / 0.87 = 1296 Blair SAT average without magnet

[b]Blair's 1296 without the magnet is still higher than Wooton[/b] :)

So what if a similar SES non-magnet cohort at Blair outperforms students at any random W. Big deal. Nobody cares. I prefer to include the lower SES groups even though it has little impact on outcomes because it justifies my real-estate value. [/quote]
