[b]DC public schools are not better than Takoma Park schools. [/b]

And if in Maryland, you are in state for all the Maryland colleges.

Look in both and base it on which house you like best. If the houses are a toss up, choose Takoma Park for sure. Better schools, better services, more community.[/quote]

The public schools in CCDC are most certainly better than the public schools in Takoma Park.[/quote]
Absolutely not. 
They are not even in the same league. 
TPMS & Blair  are leagues above Deal and JR[/quote]

You are confusing the selection magnet with the reputation of Blair its self. Put it this way; even after brining in some of the best students from a massive county to prop up Blair’s test scores, it still manages to rank towards the bottom of the county. Don’t compare the best school in a city to lower ranked school in a county. [/quote]
There's no confusion. You’re the one who is clueless. 
Blair is the most decorated,  popular school in the county and their SAT test scores are not towards the bottom. Their test scores are better than JR'S.
Blair runs circles around the best school in the city.

For the typical, well resourced, non-magnet kid, Blair and JR are more alike than different. Blair is much bigger, so will have more AP and activity options, but both have ENOUGH of everything to be a comprehensive school that can meet the needs of almost all kids. [b]Neither are Whitman or Langley, but one is not leagues above the other.[/b] [/quote]
Whitman and Langley nothing compared to Blair,  except they have lot more white, rich kids.
But then again,  that's DCUM flavor. [/quote]

[b]And better student outcome b[/b]ut I guess that isn’t how you measure schools. Your bias is showing, if Blair is so great it must be the students who let it down is that what your point is? Maybe we can create a magnet program that attracts serious students to elect to bus into the school to lift the averages of the IB kids so that locals take unfounded pride and get distracted form the vast majority of outcomes. Then they can go online and brag about some Asian kid from Bethesda who was a NMSF.  That sounds like it might work, correction it sounds like it is already working.[/quote]
Wrong again. 
And your bias isn't showing?  :roll: [/quote]

Well if you disregard College preparedness, college acceptance rates and test scores I guess you could be right. It’s not bias if it’s if is the simple facts. Go ahead and explain why performance isn’t fair or lower results needs to be qualified with an asterix. I’ll even grant you everyone doesn’t start the race in the same spot but the finish line is the finish line. It’s also fine to consider higher ranked schools to be sour grapes and not want anything to do with them, you just sound crazy when you proclaim your Pontiac to be a Cadillac. [/quote]
