[quote=Anonymous]This is a weird debate. Of course it depends on how you define better. If you look at the Whitman student body as a whole they will outperform Blair as a whole and that impacts the character of the school. In any activity at the school nearly everyone will be a high-performer because the school is full of high-performers. At Blair, it probably depends on the activity. Chess club and the science bowl, almost definitely. The sports teams? I wouldn't be sure. But Blair obviously has a more concentrated group of super smart kids taking rigorous classes that aren't offered anywhere else. These are simply facts. The kids in the magnet also tend to be more quirky than you see at Whitman. Whether this is better or not depends on your perspective. The great thing about both Whitman and the Blair magnet is that they are places where kids who do well and are bright are admired. It isn't that way at all schools.[/quote]
