These numbers are interesting. After glancing through the data on other tests, Blair is the strongest by far of the three, and it offers the most course choices (it is a huge school, they offer everything). Wheaton seems to do better in the history and gov't department (I didn't include English because the top Einstein students are doing that IB). Einstein students are scoring higher on the calc exams. [b]Einstein doesn't offer any computer science[/b], nor does it offer physics C, so I didn't compare any of those classes. Just looking at course offerings, I will likely have my son put down Wheaton as his first choice for the computer and higher level physics offerings since he is interested in computer science and physics, but depending on what area of science your kid is interested in, I think Einstein is a good choice. If you have a kid that also wants to do any sort of instrumental music, Blair and Einstein have much stronger programs. My oldest was able to do Takoma Park Middle>Blair SMAC. My 8th grader is a strong math/science student, but not gifted enough to break into the magnets.[/quote]

Yes, Einstein does offer computer science:
