[quote=Anonymous][quote]Within the DCC people do choose living in Blair instead of other schools.[/quote]

This is true but its a mistake. Just because Blair is rated a 6 instead of a 4 doesn't mean that it is any better than the other DCC schools. I was not surprised to see the long term sexual harassment problems in the STEM program being swept under the rug for years at Blair. There is too much focus on trying to look good and hide problems. The large portion of kids that don't do well at Blair get ignored while all the focus is on the magnet kids who are pretty much out of boundary. It is very much a emperor has no clothes type of school but as long as it has the magnet program and out of boundary top students, its scores will mask the real problems.

I'm not saying that there aren't problems at Einstein, Northwood, Wheaton or Kennedy but the core focus is on the general program not special snowflakes from other zones. The other DCC schools seem to have a sense of pride in what they do. Blair seems to have a chip on its shoulder that its ranked below the Poolesville magnet program and W schools. [/quote]
