[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]

Also, Stuyvesant is the #4 public HS in America on Niche. The number 1 MD high school on that site--Poolesville--is #30. Given how many high schools there are in the country, statistically anything in at least the top 100 is equivalent, so certainly MD high schools can't be said to "put Stuyvesant to shame." [/quote]
Compare what Stuy have done with over 3000 magnet students  with  Blair SMACS 400 students and then come talk to me.[/quote]

Regardless of what you might think, Stuy, Poolesville, and TJ continue to be ranked above Blair.

Give me concrete reasons why you think Blair should be ranked above those schools. Until then I'll maintain my position that the schools are roughly equivalent, given that those other three are whole-school magnets (or at least have magnet programs that are a larger percentage of the student body than at Blair).
