[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid loves academic competitions, blair magnet provides many opportunities and peers.
However, no or very little improvement on their college admissions if the students can get same states and EC achievement.

Hard to reconcile this with the actual data that shows Blair has significantly better college admissions than other MCPS schools.[/quote]

Where can this data be found?[/quote]

Look at the link posted earlier in this thread for RMIB, or google the college edition of Bethesda Beat.[/quote]

Here is the list from Bethesda magazine - I just was looking at it and it starts on page 68. It's hard to glean exactly hat is happening though because they don't separate the magnets from the rest of the school. And Blair is the biggest high school in MD so many of the applied and or accepted could be non-magnet kids.  I wish they had a nice lost like the RMIB program does.

Also Blair and RMIB are very diverse schools, and home school kids can take magnet classes. So a highperforming URM who appeals to top schools might not necessarily be in the magnet programs, which are ~90% Asian.[/quote]
