BCC is 15% Black and Blair is 24% Black. Nearly all of the Black students at BCC live in Silver Spring and [b]would be assigned to Blair if they lived literally in the next apartment building over.[/b] So why is it that those Black kids at BCC are doing significantly better than kids one block away?

Even this is not true. There are no buildings zoned to BCC which are next to buildings zoned to Blair. You are probably referring to the Summit Hills apartments at the eastern end of the BCC zone. Some of their buildings are zoned for BCC, and others are zoned for Einstein. None are zoned for Blair.[/quote]

+1 This is one of those times when it helps to break out the map: https://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/BCCHS.pdf

You can see the that B-CC has kind of a weird boundary, reaching across the part to pick up the RH and RCF neighborhoods. Which....fine. But the places where you have dense housing right next to each other, some is zoned for B-CC and some is zoned for Einstein, as PP says.

There are places where a neighborhood zones for Blair and a neighborhood zoned for B-CC are close, but it's mostly buildings with few kids (near the SS Metro Station). [/quote]
I am not sure why this makes a difference to the point, which is why are Black kids who live in the Summit Hills apartments doing to so well academically compared to Black kids are Blair? Can you explain that?[/quote]
