[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Most people outside of Silver Spring do not consider Blair especially strong apart from the Magnet program. Mostly one only hears "the best cluster on the affordable side of town" which is light praise at best.[/quote]

I agree with this and don't even know if anyone outside Silver Spring really views Blair outside the magnet as the best one on the affordable side of town. Most people just write off the entire area because the schools in the east are the worst in the county etc. Look at it this way - do you know which HS in PG county is the best? Probably not, you probably just know that PG schools are bad.

I doubt that any applications outside the DCC would drop if the magnet moved to Kennedy. Within the DCC, they might drop but that could open up more sports for Kennedy students or students from the NEC who might find it more logistically feasible.[/quote]

I disagree with this when we are talking about the Blair magnet.  I agree if you were speaking of Blair in general.  The Blair magnet is better than their home schools and they are comfortable enough with the rest of Blair (they may have had neighbors who have also gone to the magnet, they know it has an ok reputation, and it's not [u]the worst[/u] school in the DCC).  They also know that the administration knows how to integrate the magnet kids and support them.

I don't think that they would all be comfortable with Kennedy.  [/quote]
