[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the 2016 SAT scores for mcps:

http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/info/pdf/160929%20SAT%20Exam%20Participation%20Perform.pdf

Scroll down to page 19 where scores are broken out by school and race.

At Einstein, which is a majority-minority school with a highish FARMS rate and NO magnet program, white kids have an average SAT score of 1821.

These students aren't hurting and are college ready.

For comparison, white students' scores at other schools without magnets:
WJ 1831
Wootton 1822
Churchill 1895
Whitman 1932
BCC 1864
Sherwood 1689

Can this thread be done now, please.

All I see is Einstein had the lowest score, other than Sherwood. Also there are so few white kids at Einstein it isn’t really a fair pool. What ever limited resources get broken out for the handful of middle class families, where schools like Whitman where every kids every kid need that level of enrichment. Also I love how Blair parents take great pride in the accomplishments of West county kids that are bussed to the school. Seems sort of disingenuous, you know where there are lots of high achieving kids like the west county kids you think makes Blair so special? West county, the schools there are filled with them.

Did you see the score for white kids at Blair ? 1971
The vast majority of them are in Takoma Park and Silver Spring not "west county kids..."

Also, that kid won because he went to Blair.  He knew he could not have that opportunity if he  stayed in home school. 
When was the last time a "W" school won first prize? [/quote]

Yah that just isn’t supported by facts
Last year there were 658 white kids at Blair out of 2952 students. There are 500 magnet kids with most of them white or Asian so let’s say about half of the white kids at Blair are in the magnet. And most of those are out of bounds from Blair as over 50% of the kids come from outside the DCC which means that Blair’s white scores are mostly magnet with is more Bethesda kids than not. I will admit I saw no way to pull the Asian and white magnet numbers apart which comprise most of the program.[/quote]
