[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a post in the DC private school forum, but scrolling down the MD list, there are an impressive number of kids coming from Blair HS.[/quote]

Well they have a lot more students to choose from. How many students in the graduating class from Blair? Some of the private small schools only have 80 kids in the class.[/quote]

That is a silly way to look at it. The reality is that in 8th grade a bunch of kids take the SSATs and a bunch of them score really high and then scatter across a variety of public and private schools. Those same kids then score really high on the PSAT. Add to that group a bunch of 8th grade kids who never take the SSAT and are scattered among public and private schools where they stay, take the PSAT and score really high. A bunch of these kids will concentrate themselves in magnets and top private schools if those are available to them, but some stay the course where they started.[/quote]

Not really. If you are comparing 90 students in a grade with 500 tjay matters. So how many students in Blair graduating class?[/quote]
