[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

It's true the average SAT at Blair was 1326  for the largest cohort common to these schools. Using race as a proxy for SES were able to do a more granular analysis and see how they really stack up.[/quote]
