[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember at the RMIB open house the director showed a slide of all the places the last year’s seniors went to college.

Then I went to the Blair magnet open house and the director pointed out that he WOULDNT be showing such a slide, bc he said their focus is on high school, and they’re not obsessed with where kids end up- or something like that.

That really made an impression on me, and I like that Blair doesn’t make a big deal about where their kids go. Agree that many head to UMD for their CS, engineering, sciences.

Maybe because their admissions stats were not that impressive.  I  went to a CAP presentation years ago, and they did list the college acceptances.  Not any more impressive than any other MCPS school.  And my DC had friends who did CAP who didn’t even get into UMD-CP.  I sure hope those kids enjoyed the program, because it didn’t help get them into college.  And no, my kid wasn’t rejected.  They didn’t even apply after the presentation as they didn’t see the upside.  Had a great experience at a run of the mill DCCC school and got into a top 30 with considerable merit.  Oh, and in at UMD too, unlike their CAP  friends.  Maybe the STEM magnet produces better results.[/quote]
