[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eastern has less kids apply, it's easier to get into and it's mostly girls. (If you have a boy, I've never heard of one getting rejected by eastern). Bus stop for my kids a mix- but yes- a lot of Asians. We are neither Asian nor Jewish. [/quote]

There are fewer kids who apply to Eastern than Takoma but I know many boys from my child's HGC who were rejected.  And the 6th grade class is only about 20% boys. They did not balance gender in admissions.  [/quote]

If MCPS selects based on income and geography, they really should consider balancing out the sex ratio a little more.  80 girls and 20 boys is not for the social aspects of middle school.[/quote]

My child has two 6th grade magnet classes at Eastern (out of the 4 magnet classes) that have only 2 boys each (the same two boys).  Definitely not great for those kids.  [/quote]

This doesn't even make sense.  I personally know of 8 boys who go to eastern ms  - I know there are more. [/quote]
