[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what is the total number of students enrolled in DCC magnet and Up county magnet classes? What is the typical number of students in each program?[/quote]
These are one-grade numbers:
Clemente 75
Eastern 112
MLK 75
Takoma 125

See pages 19-22 of:

This report is very interesting.  From 2019 to 2021, number of students placed has gone down while the student pool increased. 
Am I reading this right? Did they put two groups at disadvantage and promoted two other groups?[/quote]

The numbers are very curious. It doesn't make sense why the # of placed is going down so much. At Eastern the number of students "placed" in 2020 was 188 while in 2021 it was only 112. Anybody know what is going on? All of the schools show a drop.[/quote]

I am guessing that "placed" in this context includes kids who declined. So, Eastern made 188 offers to fill 110 slots (or whatever) but then the number of acceptances went up in 2021. That makes some sense, since the 2020 class was finishing out a covid year. I have a child in that class (not at Eastern) and they had more than a handful of friends who had applied to private schools AND the magnet program. When it became clear that the 2020/21 year would be mostly virtual, those kids took the private school option. [/quote]

You are reading it wrong. Even if kids did not accept the placement, why didn't they provide opportunities to other eligible students? Why do you want to deny kids an opportunity to excel?[/quote]
