[quote=Anonymous]This statistics changed.

I have 2 kids in MS magnet so I have "experience".

Prior to 2.0, I would say Takoma Magnet had a lot of HGC students.  At that time HGC kids had advanced math at HGCs. Much more advanced than compacted math...
My older child had something like 20 + kids in Takoma  from just DC's formal HGC (out of 55 in HGC). I would say majority of Takoma kids (out of boundary) were from HGCs. There were another 8 kids from child's HGC at Eastern.

Two years forward and HGC math is the same as Compacted Math in all schools. As a result some HGC kids test similarly to regular school kids to Takoma.
Basically now many kids who are good in Math and science (and had studied with parents, tutors, outside programs like CTY etc) , but not good at writing do not go to HGC (case of my next child). However they test well into Takoma, since  it is technical magnet.
My younger child report that there are HGC kids in Takoma, but many kids came from regular schools. All kids are very strong technical kids.

Eastern still will get most HGC kids, since now HGCs focus primarily on humanities.[/quote]
