[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why exactly is Blair on this list of Bethesda high schools? Yes, I know it has two magnet programs. But so do Richard Montgomery, Einstein, Wheaton, and Kennedy.

For the high school years I still think it makes more sense to "invest" in a private school than in an expensive house in one of the Bethesda clusters.[/quote]

Just FYI, Richard Montgomery is the only other MoCo school with a test-in magnet program, the IB program, besides the two test-in programs at Blair. Each test-in program has maybe 100 kids per class. Kids take a standardized test, get teacher recs, and submit transcripts and essays. Entrance to the others you mention - Einstein, Kennedy - is by lottery.[/quote]

I know this is off-topic, but the Visual Arts program at Einstein is a county-wide magnet by application (not lottery), and the Leadership Training Institute at Kennedy and the engineering magnets at Wheaton are all application only within the Downcounty Consortium, not lottery.[/quote]
