[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving next month and DC wants the strongest math program available (High School level).  Some parents said Blair, while others said 3W's (topped by Wooton).  I've heard a lot of opinions (some not even relevant), but very few facts.  Is there any way to look up actual school SAT scores?  Or maybe which school had the greatest number of technology institute admissions?  Or what advanced math courses are offered?[/quote]

Here is a profile for Wooton. SAT mean math score is 633

Blair’s mean math score for the entire class is 576
https://mbhs.edu/departments/counseling/BlairProfile.pdf
The mean score is for the entire senior class of course (approximately 700 students). 
If memory serves me I believe the average Math SAT score for the 100 Blair Magnet students is typically between 780 and 790

Blair SMACS class of 2027 has averaged SAT math of 781 and reading/writing of 751. TJ average SAT total is around 1528 (according to google). That's a rough apple-to-apple comparison.

Your comparison is simpleminded since the schools have dissimilar demographics. A more granular way to look at this is to examine the scores of the largest demographic common to both schools as a proxy for SES differences that affect these averages.

[b]Wooton's average math SAT score for that group was 627[/b]
whereas [b]Blair's average was 659[/b]

Scores were taken from page 16 of this report the county released.
