[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While my child was at HGC at Pine Crest at least 3 local kids were used to fill spots for the 5th grade year.

At Eastern, at least 3 local students were used to fill spots at the last minute.

This was 3-4years ago.[/quote]

Currently, Pine Crest CES 5th grade has 10 local students who feed to Eastern and are eligible for local magnet spots (it's usually 8-10 per year).  Theoretically, that makes them the top 10 local humanities students coming out of Pine Crest, as they were invited out of the general population based on being the top, rather than as local outliers at the top as their out-of-boundary classmates were.  We saw 3 Pine Crest local students at the invited magnet student open house last week, but it's possible others didn't make it that night, were waitlisted, or may be invited later based on available space.

(We have no idea what the numbers at Oak View ES are, but that school also feeds to Eastern MS.)

We had been told that there are typically 10 Eastern magnet spaces for local students, but it's unclear whether that's a true carve-out like the 25 at TPMS, or they end up with that many unclaimed spots at the end of August.[/quote]
