[quote=Anonymous]Its really insane for MCPS to mess with WJ's boundaries. The problem will not be the URM students, the problem will be the type of URM students that move in. This happens in the DCC now Their scores are high enough to be proficient or get maybe a 3 on an AP test but the type of URM parent that doesn't care about school performance tends not to care about academics in other ways. They use the fact that their kids are surrounded by really low performers to convince themselves that their kids are doing great when they are barely mediocre.

The ONLY schools that made it into the top 200 for US News and World Report Best High Schools were Churchill #75, Wootton, Walter Johnson, Poolesville and Richard Montgomery. Blair was either unranked or didn't score high enough to rank in the 1000s. Considering its college readiness score was only 58% it probably was just too low to get anywhere on the list. This is the best school in the DCC with a magnet pulling in the best students across the area. It still scores low. The other DCC schools are horrible and its not just the URM students. [/quote]
