Yes, the Blair program is known all over and by top corporations: Siemens, Lockheed Martin, Intel, Regeneron etc...
Globally or just in the DC area?
Did you see the corporations the PP named?
I did... but that does not mean that people on the west coast who work for Intel know about Blair. Sure, people in the DC area would know about Blair magnet, but it's not like Blair has nationwide recognition. I'm from out west and never heard about Blair till I moved here.
Just because you had never heard of it before, doesn't mean it doesn't have one. It does have a nationwide recognition academically.

Students in Blair's magnet program have scored a string of honors since the 1980s, catapulting the school into the top tier of such programs nationwide and making it instantly recognizable among admissions officers at the country's most selective universities.
"We pay a lot of attention to Montgomery Blair because they produce solid, energetic, curious kids," said Jon Reider, associate director of undergraduate admissions at Stanford University.
And that was way back in 1993.
well, the non-blair sergey brin kid from the DMV area went to Stanford for a PhD but dropped out later. Another one who was rejected by blair was named tim sweeney.

Not putting down magnets because my kids are both in one but I do think that both “W” schools and magnets carry a lot of clout in MC.
Huh???
1. How do you know that the kids from Blair and RM are from the magnets?
2. Even if they did, what does your post prove?
LOL. Y'all W folks aren't too sharp.

How on earth do you quantify “successful-seeming”?
They said what medical schools they’ve been accepted to. I thought the one who said John’s Hopkins was the most successful seeming but that’s based on a snap judgement of 6 really successful kids.

No one is asserting future engineers and computer scientists shouldn't go to Blair if possible. But that wasn't OP's question, so why are you here?

They won't care what HS you went to.
It's not about HS. It's about knowledge of the program.
If you were in the field, you would know what I am talking about.
