[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at Blair overall, can you really blame U.S. News?  Their numbers (outside of SMAC) stink.  The Magnet was supposed to "raise up" Blair for Silver Spring, but instead it's just a bad HS overall with an ineffective Magnet.  A lot of parents in "W's" are just keeping their kids at their home school and tutoring on the side, so now AEI has egg all over their face for screwing up again.  MCPS can try bussing for equity, but we'll see how that works out at the next board election.[/quote]

That's strange when I look at the SAT average for the largest cohort common to Blair and the W's Blair scores higher.

Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wootton 1262
Churchill 1257

Stop using actual facts to contradict the PP grievance narrative. :D[/quote]

Reply to your self all you want. You peer group avg means nothing when 99% of the school isn’t in that peer group. Sure a couple of very smart kids bused in from nicer parts of town do comparable to the schools full of smart kids from nicer parts of town. No one is disputing that.  Problem is Blair isn’t filled with smart kids from the nicer parts of town, we are talking whole school averages sweetie.[/quote]
