So, from a report to the BOE related to the 2023 identification for the incoming 2023-24 class (latest found/may not be latest available -- https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/CV6T2P754843/$file/230816%20FY2023%20Update%20CES%20Sec%20Prog%20Admission%20Results%20BD.pdf ), the pools were:

Clemente (Math/Science/CS) 571/4122 ~ 13.9%
King (Humanities) 440/4122 ~ 10.7%

TPMS (Math/Science/CS) 1249/7693 ~ 16.2%
Eastern (Humanities) 1096/7692 ~ 14.2%

Slight changes to the selection paradigms and underlying population profiles may have altered these percentages for the incoming class this year.  They won't have numbers for the current evaluation until it is complete.

Oh perfect, thanks!  So the answer to OPs question (assuming relative stability year to year) is about 1250 kids for TPMS and about 1100 kids for Eastern.[/quote]

With the nuance, above, that for programs with an in-bounds set-aside, there are two lottery pools (in-bounds & out-of-bounds); the OP may be more interested in one or the other.

The numbers noted would be the combination of both lottery pools.  They are not parsed out in the report or otherwise publicly available, to my awareness.  However, the hypothetical provided would stand to reason as an approximation, and, given the current understanding of the seats available, there certainly is a much greater chance of a student's being selected for a program if identified for the associated in-bounds lottery than if out-of-bounds.[/quote]
