[quote=Anonymous][quote]Not a Blair parent OR a W parent and I have no dog in the fight, but it is truly astounding that anyone would consider the Blair neighborhood to be in decline or consider it to be a bad school. By any objective measure, it’s one of the top schools in the area.[/quote] What objective measures show that Blair is a top school without the magnet program? I just pulled up the MCPS school safety report for Blair. Police were called to the school 54 times in the last reporting year. This is more than Einstein. The school only pulls a 6 with the magnet factored in for great schools. What would it be without those kids? Its hard to nail down the drop rates since MD decided to not count anyone who drops out prior to starting senior year as a drop out. These students are now just considered transferred to somewhere unknown. Blair used to be very high up there with early drop outs. [/quote]
