[quote=Anonymous]Don't forget that Blair has two magnets not one so there are between 700-800 magnet kids floating about for SMAC and CAP. This means that there are enough smart OOB students to ensure there are AP and honors level classes with some capable students in the subjects their magnets do not focus on. This can be a big benefit to a non-magnet kid who was close but didn't make it into one of the magnets. The problem comes up if your kid has any learning disabilities that would place them in a non honors or non AP class. Smart kids with learning disabilities are often pushed to take the higher level classes even though they struggle and would do better in the grade level course. The grade level classes are filled with the rest of Blair which is pretty bottom of the barrel academically and on the juvenile offender acceleration path. [/quote]
