[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a different note: 
Blair SMCS (30 min drive) vs RMIB(15 min drive); 
DD is STEM inclined; looking at safety, diversity, transport, rigor, etc. Which one is better??[/quote]

If the child is taking the bus, then go for SMCS. If you are driving, that's potentially an extra hour+ for you each day. Picking up is especially time consuming.

My child is STEM inclined but chose RMIB (11th grade now). Where we are, bus picks up at 6:30 am and drops off 4:30-4:45 pm. Activity bus is much later. With RM, bus pickup is 7:10 am and drop-off is before 3 pm. That was a significant enough commuting time, that SMCS was not worth it for him. [/quote]

Yeah the difference is not 15 min for us too. It’s 30 min for bus pick up time difference and we still need to drive to the bus stop which is another 5-10 min. [b]Extra period at Blair is another time consuming thing.[/b][/quote]

But it's also the main value-add of Blair. "There's too much school" is a weird complaint about a school that you fight to get admitted to.
