[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another statistic.  It also means that 30% of RM students taking AP/IB's are with the magnet.  If we remove the IB Magnet from RM, this means that 42% of non-magnet graduates do not take an AP exam at all.

The magnet program similarly boosts the High School statistics at Blair.  Blair has approximately 400 (100 / year) magnet program students.  This means that 263 non-magnet students took AP exams out of  592 non-magnet graduates.  This means that when you subtract out the Magnet program from Blair HS, 56% of the students didn't take an AP exam.

This seems to contradict the MCPS narrative that "equity" can be served by lowering magnet standards to 85% lottery (from 98-99%).  Why?  If making instruction accessible didn't work at Blair, why would lowering the Magnet qualification standards help?[/quote]

Blair parents talk about cohort but they don’t like to talk about that 80% of the school is a much lower cohort and more than half of the good cohort is bussed in. But they will still brag on their SAT scores even if the school it’s self has bottom of the pack scores. But it is good they are proud of the scraps they are given, makes their short comings easier to swallow. [/quote]

I don't like Blair. I think it's overrated. Overcrowded. We are zoned and picked a different school.

But what's wrong with you? Who talks about children like this? "Lower cohort? Scraps?" Seriously, what? [/quote]
