Blair is many things to many people. It's a big school where kids can choose to take the most rigorous classes offered in MCPS to easy ones.

BTW, no school wants to be known as a pressure cooker. It's not a healthy environment.
You'll not see any school advertised itself as a pressure cooker school.

Pressure cooking has to do mostly with the school environment and culture.
Blair Magnet, RMIB are more rigorous and harder, but the environment is less of a pressure cooker.
