[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The RM and Blair magnets can be inflating the schools' overall test scores, so it's possible the Blair magnet offsets their CAP program[/quote] the list specifically looks at magnet, too, but I'm thinking CAP is included in Blair. In any case, your statement of the magnet inflating test scores is like saying the rich kids in Whitman are inflating their test scores.[/quote] The impact of the magnets on the overall school is fairly minimal. For example, there was a post that showed that 32 magnet kids in one demographic averaged 1520 on their SAT whereas the average for all students in the same demographic was 1326. It was easy to determine that this added just hsy of 30 points to the average. [/quote]
