[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the PP for posting that admissions data; I hadn't seen it before. The "considered" number appears to be the entire population (11,466 3rd graders for CES, ~12,000 5th graders between the upcounty and downcounty magnets). What really strikes me is how few middle school magnet spots there are, which I knew but hadn't seen spelled out quite this way before. 6% of 3rd graders were placed in the CES, but only ~3% in the middle school magnets (~1.5% each at the math and humanities magnets in each part of the county). Those spots were filled through a lottery of the top 15% (roughly) at each magnet, meaning that only 1 out of 10 kids that the school system identified as qualified through their process this year were placed in a given magnet. If the county says that the other 9 out of 10 kids can be served at their local schools, why even bother having the magnet for that small percentage of kids?[/quote]
