[quote=Anonymous][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

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]

In the old method, lots of kids go into both Takoma Park and Eastern. My incoming 8th grader was in that cohort - accepted in early 2020 for a fall 2020 start - and we saw a lot of the same kids at both accepted student nights.

My understanding is that with the new lottery, which began for the class entering middle school in fall 2021, kids only received offers for one of the two magnet programs. So maybe that’s why there were fewer offers for the same number of slots?[/quote]

Oh interesting. Yeah no one got multiple offers this year. [/quote]

It was very common pre-lottery. The acceptance processes to the two schools were independent of each other, and many 5th graders who are strong academically score well across the board. [/quote]
