[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember seeing a more nuanced analysis a few months back of MCPS HS that attempted to isolate for socioeconomic differences to see how these schools stack up. They listed the SAT averages for the largest cohort common to a few of the top schools and well Blair was ranked highest.  One posted tried to attribute this to the 100 person magnet program until another pointed out that the demographic in question had fewer than 30 students in this cohort. Anyway, it is fascinating what you learn when you dig a little deeper.

[b]Blair 1326[/b]
Walter Johnson 1275
Wooton 1262
Churchill 1257

You gloss over the 98% of the kids there who aren’t upper middle class magnet kids shipped in form OOB. That is the cohort represented in your misleading tallies, yes the magnet kids test well but they do not reflect the school overall like the general score from the other schools you listed which should be noted is most likely where those high scoring Blair kids most likely live near like most of the other magnet kids

We get it you’re proud of your white and Asian savior kids but the conversation is about the schools very low over all test scores. Those other schools you listed don’t have to bus their test scores in [/quote]

On the contrary, their point is that there aren't good or bad schools as some might have you believe. This perfectly illustrates that the same kid will do the same at any of these schools. [/quote]
