[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's true that 50% of the HGC get into the magnet.  If that were true, then about 25 kids would get into the middle school magnets from one school, and that seems too high given that the incoming class is only 100.  That would mean that a quarter of the incoming class came from one HGC.  That's way too high.

When you add Takoma and Eastern together, probably somewhere between 10-12 get in from the CCES HGC and fewer decide to go.  In our year from CCES  HGC, I can think of 6 students who were accepted at Eastern and 5 who chose to go.  I think the number who chose to go to Takoma was higher.

If you are at CCES, a big unknown if you are in the BCC cluster (and you must be either at BCC or Whitman to attend CCES) is the building of a new middle school. If your kids are rising 4th graders, then this will not be an issue as the new middle school will not be built yet.  But, at some point a cohort of kids at the HGC will get caught in the tangle of starting at Westland and then being shifted to the new middle school.  For future kids in this position, it is possible to plead hardship and stay at CCES for 6th grade if the new pattern of schools would require a new school jump for only one year.  [/quote]
