[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - Magnet mom with a high school freshman at Poolesville. Thank You. My DC is not in SMCs but this info his helpful.  However- I would make one correction- the acceptance rate from John Poole is 25 percent not 40 percent per the website so fewer students must be local.[/quote]
Well, they can claim whatever on the website.
Here is how it works.
In any given year there are max 60 spots for Humanities (2 blocks), max 60 spots for SMCS (2 blocks), max 90 spots for Ecology (3 blocks).
Only 50 spots for out of bound kids in each program. These 50 spots are always filled, the rest are filled unevenly from year to year.
It is true that sometimes less than 10 local kids are in Humanities and SMCS. It can be 6 and 7  or 4 and 5 etc. They put there only kids who can handle work. 
Ecology program is always filled. I am not sure is it filled to the limit or not. But I know for a fact that 1/3 of Ecology program are LOCAL kids.
If you do not believe me call school.[/quote]
