[quote=Anonymous]What people need to realize is that when MCPS started the Blair magnet, it was to not only provide programming to gifted kids, but to boost up the test scores and profile of a lagging Blair school. Same with the RM IB program. The Poolesville program was to boost up enrollment at the school. Now that many of the high schools in MCPS are performing poorly, this not only provides specialized programming to a larger group of students, but addresses the low performance of more schools by adding special programs (and keeping gifted students home). It's the same reason they started adding regional IB programs to low performing schools. This is about access for the masses, equity and also boosting up the 15+ schools that continue to underperform.[/quote]
