Or Silver Spring.

"Approximately 20-25 seats" are reserved? [b]So out of the approximately 180 (at Piney Branch) + 70 (at East Silver Spring) students per grade[/b], 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]

Of course you are correct to include the kids from ESS.

I have no idea how they get to their number. I suspect there's not a mandate that they MUST fill 120 seats, but rather they have the flexibility to do so to accommodate qualified in-boundary kids. In other words, I doubt it's a situation where they keep two separate pools. But honestly, I don't really know how it's done. Those are questions better directed to the magnet coordinator.[/quote]

Of course it's not just kids in these schools. It's the in-boundary kids who go to the Oakview/Pine Crest HGCs. In fact, that's probably where most of the kids come from. Also, there are surely a few in privates. So it's wrong to assume it's just PBES and ESS kids.[/quote]

The Oakview/Pine Crest HGC serves the Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, and Northwood Clusters. What percentage of students at the Oakview/Pine Crest HGC are from East Silver Spring ES and Piney Branch ES?[/quote]
