They do go to "go to RM, Blair, Poolesville, and the Art program @ Einstein" because those are specialized programs that cater to their specialized talents.  No one in their right mind would move to Blair or Eistein from a "W" school for any other reason.  Take a look at the Mathews rankings.  See how low Blair ranks? 50th!!!  Even with the magnet and CAP.

Sure those rankings are based on AP and IB.  Sure, there is more to education than AP & IB.  Unfortunately, those are the rankings schools and Realtors tout.

You may personally know 5 classmates from TPMS going to Blair.  Blair takes a whole lotta magnet students from TPMS.  Oops, I almost forgot that Johnson was Principal at TPMS before she went over to Blair.

Anyway, look at the WaPo rankings and make up your own minds.

Diversity may trump education for some.  For others it just does not.  [/quote]

Shorter PP -- I believe that SES is catching.

(The W schools in MCPS are Watkins Mill, Wheaton, Whitman, and Wootton.  https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/#school_list )
