[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes a lot of sense. There are always slots reseerved for the home school and/or region for all magnets in MCPS even the HGC. The school that host in-house HGCs have fixed number of slots on competitive basis for their own home students. For example, CSES typically reserves 5 slots for students from CS in the HGC.[/quote] Not true. I actually spoke with the HGC office about this, and it is not the case. What is your source for this info?[/quote] This is true. I sat in on an "equity" meeting at Barnsley with the community superintendant, other Barnsley parents, and PTA officers. Each school that hosts the program receives a few (maybe 4?) extra spaces for the hosts schools kids. This is above and beyond those that get in by testing in. It's not advertised because then the other gifted kids parents will all assume that the hosts schools kids don't deserve to be there.[/quote]
