[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused. [b] Is the PP saying there is a preference for Takoma Park residents for the Takoma MS magnet[/b], or the elementary magnet?  Because I've heard such a thing with regards to the elementary magnet, but never the middle school magnet program.  Is this indeed true?

Also, as for OP's original question, for the DCC language immersion programs in French and Spanish, the kids can continue on to SSIMS regardless of their home school to continue receiving partial immersion instruction, but there is no preference that I'm aware of for high school.  [/quote]

Yes, approx 20-25 seats are reserved in the TPMS magnet program for in-boundary students. That is in addition to the 100 spots for everyone else. So the actual magnet class size is 120-125. [b]Guess it's good to live in Takoma Park[/b].[/quote]

Or Silver Spring.

"Approximately 20-25 seats" are reserved? So out of the approximately 180 (at Piney Branch) + 70 (at East Silver Spring) students per grade, 8-10% go to the TPMS magnet program? (And presumably an ever higher percentage get accepted, because presumably some students are accepted but don't go. Not to mention the question of whether all TPMS-zoned students get accepted separately, or whether some get accepted in general admissions and then the rest in TPMS-zoned admissions.) Is that what you're saying?[/quote]
