[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair is the best public school in the county. They have the most options for classes, even if you are not in the magnet programs you can still take magnet classes. It is extremely diverse, people that go their come from all over the county. It is very well balanced in terms of races, as they are selective so they can maintain the optimum levels of diversity. All kinds of economic backgrounds, etc. Solid athletic and learning programs, etc. The building, facilities, teachers, etc are all top notch. Very caring community, etc nothin really bad to say about it.

Sherwood on the other hand, is just a small boring school, like a majority of the other high schools in montgomery county. There's nothing really that sets sherwood apart, but it's really up to what your child prefers. Whether they want a big school/small school feel changes the entire experience.[/quote]

Sherwood is a much better school.  Around 2011 a new principal took the helm at Blair.  As the poster says she opened the magnet to everyone.  It has resulted in a magnet program that has the same level of instruction as the rest of the school.  And, the level of instruction at Blair is pretty much the middle school level in the wealthier part of the county. Blair is majority Latino with blacks making up the second largest group.  I think it is like the Langley Park-Silver Spring area.

There is no selectivity at Blair and there is nothing called an optimum level of diversity.

There was also a big deal about Blair being among some of the lowest performing schools according to some report.

Don't take my word for it. Visit the school.  Observe the school for sometime before making up your mind.
