[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair 
Magnet is excellent, dedicated teachers for STEM
The non magnet teachers are also very good. Was a pleasant surprise.
Blair had the most semifinalists for national merit this year
Strong extracurriculars with lots of club activities as well as sports
Teachers are very approachable to students and to parents as well if there was a real concern. 
All in all great school! Way more superior than the W schools.

say what you will but every single parent at the W's could have sent their children to Blair if they wanted. Every one of them chose not to, if people really thought it was superior they would vote with their feet.

Yours is a case of sour grapes and trying to convince yourself [/quote]
DP... are you saying every single student at Churchill could've qualified for the magnet?  That would be a no.

Or are you saying they would've chosen to live in the Blair cluster if they thought the school was great?    Here's the thing.. even if the school is really great, there are people who don't want to live near poor/black/brown people, and certainly don't want their kids to mix with them.  I recall a few years ago a W mom complaining about the possibility of having her DD go to a poorer school if they were bussed because her DD would not have a great prom at a school with lots of low income families who couldn't afford a nicer  prom. Plus, some people prefer the bigger lots and larger homes in the W clusters to the smaller ones in SS.      Also, see a PP who didn't like RM because there were too many Twinbrook kids, ie, poor brown kids, but was fine with QO even though they have about the same number of FARMs/Hispanic/Black students, but QO had more white students.[/quote]

no one goes to prom, that's from the Grease movie days. get with it. [/quote]
