I remember reading the post a while back that showed Blair's SAT average was 50 points higher for the largest common cohort to it and any W in order to isolate for demographic differences and gauge the school's actual value. Some people argued but the magnet responsible which was ridiculous because it's a small program in a large school that's also mostly Asian. These silly posts that are based on outdated notions from 30 years ago are mostly laughable.
I believe these were the SAT scores for the largest cohort common to each of these high-schools

Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wootton 1262
Churchill 1257

The data was published by the county here.

This makes a lot more sense than just dumping raw data.[/quote]
The smartest white kids means it’s the best school? I cannot imagine anything more racist and classist than that, considering 90% of Blair kids are from rich liberal families in Takoma Park. I know a few of them myself. [/quote]

It’s pretty funny to read this thread and watch TP parents tie themselves in logic knots to reassure themselves that Blair is the ever-most-specialist.[/quote]

So glad we opted out of sending to Blair. For this reason. I will never forget the CAP tour, when I asked if the kids read novels and the white English teacher told me she made sure they read "excerpts written by poc." Bless her heart! I know she meant well, but I just wanted to know if they'd read novels. [/quote]
