[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That area is part of a consortium giving people some choice in HS...though Blair is often considered the strongest option.[/quote]

You mean the 4/10 high school is the strongest?[/quote]

Yes, Blair also has 10X the National Merit Finalists, Regeneron Scholarships than the other HS. It's head and shoulders over those other schools.[/quote]

That is the magnet. [/quote]

It has some impact but less than you'd think. [/quote]

I believe what PP means is that the Blair magnet takes some of the county's brightest students whereas the rest of Blair just takes whomever.  So the school is really a school within a school.  The magnet is a 10.  Genpop is a 3.  Weighted average is a 4.[/quote]

I mean, every public high school "just takes whomever." You seem to be throwing around scores like you know something, but no site breaks out magnet vs. non-magnet test scores. [/quote]
False. A breakout of the magnet has been published up until at least 2018. 
https://mbhs.edu/departments/counseling/MagnetProfile.pdf

It’s 100 kids per class, so 400 kids total which is 12.5% of the student population.

In 2018 these kids had a average ACT of 35 and an average SAT of 1531.

These kids are elite. [/quote]

This was settled years ago. 
The SAT group refers to one grade.
There are 100 magnet students per grade and about 30 of those are from out of boundary and belong to this cohort.
It has also been published the average magnet SAT was around 1520. 
Now accounting for 30 students with 1520 from that total group reduces their score to a little over 1290 which is still much higher than this cohort at any W.ially higher [/quote]

That's fantastic.  But why the constant comparison to the W schools? [/quote]
DP
It is the W schools posters who always like to point test scores (the only metric they can use) to brag that somehow their schools are better than Blair.
Blair envy is real[/quote]
