[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Unlikely that those students would be willing to go to Kennedy. Program will lose its current status and selectivity. Pretty much suicide for the program.[/quote]

I don't buy this. Maybe TP in boundary Blair SMAC parents won't send their kids but the OOB and other DCC parents will. For the few who will not, there are plenty of top applicants that will gladly take a spot. As long as the entire program moves, it keeps the county wide aspect and it doesn't become a watered down magnet it will have the same draw.

The parents that would be afraid to send their kid to Kennedy would have been afraid to send the kid to Blair. Outside the DCC, people aren't drawing the same distinctions that people inside the DCC draw about the areas. [/quote]

They will see it as an unknown quantity.  The out of boundary students know others who have gone to Blair.  They know it's a strong school overall.  [/quote]

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

Most people outside of Silver Spring have no basis for an opinion about Blair apart from the magnet program.[/quote]
