Acceptance rate (% total invited of total applied) for 2018 -

CES: 11.1

Eastern Humanities middle school magnet: [b]3.6[/b]
Takoma Park STEM middle school magnet: [b]3.4[/b]
Clemente/MLK Humanities middle school magnet: 24.0
MLK STEM middle school magnet: 15.4

Blair STEM high school magnet: 23.3
Montgomery IB high school magnet: 18.4
Poolesville Ecology high school magnet: 24.7
Poolesville Humanities high school magnet: 23.5
Poolesville STEM high school magnet: 17.9

Please note that the bolded are not calculated in the same way as the other percentages: the number of "total applied" is 3989, and is the same for Eastern and TP, which leads me to believe that they considered the entire pool of applicants, of which the  accepted portion then chose either Eastern or TP. The resulting percentage is therefore artificially lower than it should be. If the two programs are roughly the same size and selectivity, each percentage should be doubled.

It's difficult to draw conclusions about selectivity from these numbers, since as students get older, the number of applicants decreases and self-selects - those applicants are presumably much more capable than the average student. Entry into the high school magnet programs is probably very difficult indeed.

The HS magnets did not have universal screening that year did they? Surprisingly high admission for Blair otherwise.[/quote]
