[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school's total enrollment of 3,600 makes it the largest public high school in Montgomery County, as well as Maryland as a whole.

MBHS has over 95 teams or clubs, some of which are entirely student-run, including the Blair Radio Station, "Blazer Pride" Marching Band, Debate Team, and Jewish Culture Club and Philosophy Club.

I love how proponents of super size schools always taught the depth of obscure clubs available and skirt around the impact of academics, administration, and discipline at an unmanageably large school. [/quote]
Clearly you know nothing about Blair. 
Why you even commented?[/quote]

Exactly, so many clueless people. The SAT average for the largest cohort common to Blair and any W's shows that Blair scores higher, and they're not even Asians so you can't tell me that its because of the magnet.

Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wootton 1262
Churchill 1257

Stop pretending that high achieving is a large cohort at Blair, the common cohort represents like 100 kids at Blair and the majority of the kids at the other schools you mentioned while glossing over the best high schools in the county Whitman & Poolesville. If that common cohort is so prevalent to define the school why are their score school wide among the lower of the county even with the magnet inserted specifically to boost scores and perception?[/quote]

Facts don't lie. The bottom line is when we do a nuanced apples to apples comparison discounting demographic differences Blair wins.[/quote]

True, Blair's average SAT for the largest demographic to Blair and any W is higher at Blair, and although the haters will say its the magnet, [b]there are few magnet kids in this demographic.[/b] It's clear that Blair simply provides an outstanding education for anyone who wants it.[/quote]

There are lots of DCC kids in the math/science magnet.[/quote]

Looking at the magnet directory, it's safe to say the largest number of magnet kids have Blair as their home school.[/quote]

I don't know about Blair as their home school because the boundaries are sometimes a bit strange, but I think it's obvious the largest concentration has home schools in the DCC.[/quote]

The directory sorts kids by home school and the section with the most pages is Blair itself.[/quote]
