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]

That would be true, but there are exemptions for factors like poverty, which also significantly increase the pool size. Just not sure these numbers reflect reality.[/quote]

Those numbers already include those identified via the adjustments for FARMS, 504, IEP and EML. Otherwise, none of the pools would be greater than 15% of the overall student population in the program catchment (and 15%, itself, would be very unlikely, given that additional 1st-quarter grade/reading level criteria would winnow down the list of those hitting the locally normed 85th MAP percentile).[/quote]
