Because Takoma Park is a politically important constituency and the magnet sets aside seats for in-boundary. Notably the Richard Montgomery and Poolesville magnets do not set aside seats for in-boundary. [/quote]

I believe Blair does not have set-aside seats for in-boundary students, but RMIB does.[/quote]

True but TKPK is still very politically connected. I remember the Post article about this a few years back. Half of Obama's cabinet lived there so wouldn't be surprised if the same is true today.

It's not at all clear the connection between where Obama staffers lived in 2008 and a magnet program that was created decades before that. Notably, Carter and Clinton staffers were not primarily in TKPK. [/quote]

The article was from late 2014 but nice try.[/quote]
