[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That area is part of a consortium giving people some choice in HS...though Blair is often considered the strongest option.[/quote]

You mean the 4/10 high school is the strongest?[/quote]

Yes, Blair also has 10X the National Merit Finalists, Regeneron Scholarships than the other HS. It's head and shoulders over those other schools.[/quote]

That is the magnet. [/quote]

It has some impact but less than you'd think. [/quote]

I believe what PP means is that the Blair magnet takes some of the county's brightest students whereas the rest of Blair just takes whomever.  So the school is really a school within a school.  The magnet is a 10.  Genpop is a 3.  Weighted average is a 4.[/quote]

Considering how strong the some posters think the Magnet it makes one ask how bad is the local population that pulls it down to such a low rating and what causes that.  It is disingenuous to just point to Magnet test scores or one year aberrations, also [b]one must also consider the factors on why MoCo put the magnet in that school because we all know it wasn't because it is centrally located[/b]. If someone needs charity it is daft to go around claiming to be academically) rich.    [/quote]

That was 36 years ago. Not exactly relevant.[/quote]
