[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Frankly, I do not give a rat's ass about the ranking.  Does my kid have a good shot of getting stellar grades, great SAT and AP scores, learning the material, filling content gaps, having excellent EC activities at the end of 4 years?  Is he willing to work hard and not depend on MCPS to spoon feed him?  Am I willing to support him? Why would I care what the school rating of  any other MCPS school is?  Why do I care where Joe Shmoe goes?  My student is a rising 9th grader in PHS SMACS program - so should he take it easy because by being in PHS he will automagically succeed?

[b]None of the  public and private schools in DMV is of the same caliber as Stuyvesant[/b].  We should try and concentrate on what is important. [/quote]
Blair SMACS puts Stuyvesant to shame [/quote]

I don't get all the Blair SMACS boosters on this forum ... It's a great program, but you all act like it's God gift to man.[/quote]

The SAT avg for Blair SMACS is around 1530. This is just an average. They consistently win national awards and have students on math and physics olympiads. Blair is the real deal.[/quote]

Yes, it's a great program, but you all act like there's nothing equivalent to it in the WMA. That's just not true. Poolesville and TJ are both equivalent on every metric. [/quote]

It's also great ONLY if your kid is in the SMACS program. The non-SMAC is nothing to really rave about. I think there are many other schools in MCPS that have better scores in multiple metrics than the Blair non-SMAC. [/quote]

Absolutely true. [/quote]
