[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those students will still be together in very large chunks due to scheduling since they all have the same block for the magnet classes and they are all advanced. There will be a few AA and hispanic students in the AP classes or on the accelerated math track BUT not many. For the white and asian kids, it "feels" diverse because look there is more than black kid in their class. For the majority of AA and hispanic kids they do not have white or asian kids in their math, English, science and other classes. Just electives that include no tracking and happen to work with their schedule to align with the magnet kids and PE. As previous posters have mentioned the magnet kids stick together at lunch and don't eat with everyone else. [/quote]

Have to agree with the above poster. DS graduated last year and confirmed that the kids really do self-segregate. Unless they grew up in the DCC area, which most of the magnet kids do not, they have little if any social connections with the non-magnet kids.

I can't speak to the quality of the non-magnet Blair classes etc.[/quote]
