[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, I don't know what the deal with the UMd admissions requirements is, but I also really don't think it is as dire as PP says it is, based on how students at other MCPS high schools do on the same metric.

So, for BCC that number is 47%

For Blair it is 31%

For WJ it is 50%

For Whitman it is 58%.

Are folks prepared to argue that more than half of the kids who graduate from BCC are not college-ready?

Amost certainly not. Which means this metric is flawed. There is absolutely room for Blair (and every other MCPS HS) to do better by its most vulnerable kids, but we need to move off that particular metric because it clearly doesn't mean what folks want it to mean. [/quote]

Think for a min that 31% for Blair is about 1000 kids 
700 or so kids are magnet or cap mostly from OOB, most of those are part of the 31%
That leaves 300 or so kids out of the remaining 2500 students which means 12% of the general population leave qualified for an decent State school

That is Kennedy/ Einstein level performance. Mediocre at best

[b]That is the whole point of the magnet, it obfuscates the true make up and quality of the school giving the locals a false sense of pride[[/b]/quote]
Blair envy  runs strong with this one.
What's the problem?  Not proud with your drugs infested,  racists filled  W schools?
