[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child recently started at Blair Magnet.  More magnet students come from outside the DCC than from inside the DCC, with the 20854, 20850, and 20878 zip codes most heavily represented.  Also, there are more magnet students from the Bethesda zip codes than from the zip codes that comprise Blair's home area (20912, 20901, 20910)[/quote]

How did you get that data? Did they share zip codes of incoming students?[/quote]

We were told the Wootten cluster had the highest representation in the magnet when my daughter attended.  (5 years ago)[/quote]

I'd heard that from a Wootton parent, and there are a few kids from that cluster.  However, as a parent who had two kids through the program, which is purely anecdotal, it seemed like Blair itself had the most kids. Maybe because it's the largest HS to begin with, but about half the Blair STEM kids came from TPMS magnet. The TPMS magnet directory lists students by their base HS. While schools like BCC or Wootton may have 15-16 kids at TPMS, Blair has over 90. It is a large geographic area and many of these kids have been in STEM magnets beginning in grade 1.[/quote]

How surprised is this? TPMS has 25 reserved seats each grade for inbound students, those already add up to 75 seats. [/quote]

Are you sure they still do that? It seemed like the stopped that a couple years back.[/quote]

Yes they do. In case you didn’t understand it’s 25 reserved seats in the magnet at TPMS for kids who would attend TPMS anyway. Not 25 seats at Blair.[/quote]
