[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens every year, but it's usually 2-4 kids, whereas last year it was more like 7-8, so it was more obvious. It's always reserved for bright kids who are identified as being capable of the transition. It tends to happen at the second semester mark so they haven't lost an entire year of the magnet.[/quote]

I gather this year there were about a half dozen, although DD could only think of about half that number who had left the program. But take that with a grain of salt.

I think she said at least one or two of the new kids had been in a CES program, so they may very well have been on the wait list originally.

Given that there are no "enriched" cohort classes at Eastern, I'm surprised those kids wouldn't have been selected originally. I assumed the reason they were taking those mid-year kids from the gen pop was because they're not given any kind of enriched cohort offerings at Eastern, and thus were in greater need of it than kids at home schools with enriched classes (yes, yes, I know, but leaving aside the reality, the MCPS thinking is that cohort + enriched classes is equivalent).

But if they've done it that way in the past, I guess that's not the case. Must just be to avoid mid-year transfers.
