[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your assumptions are not correct. Most of DC's classmates from the Takoma Park area are UMC.[/quote]

Okay, so what makes PP believe that those kids didn't get into TPMS on their own merit. Is there some sort of mass lead poisoning that would lead an UMC child from Takoma Park to be less qualified than an UMC child from Bethesda?

Folks can't have it both ways. Either Takoma Park is a perfectly nice place with smart kids and involved parents, so it makes sense that they would get spots in various magnets, or it is a nightmare hellhole where the kids only succeed due to "woke politics" perpetuated by a cabal of election officials.

Not following your logic. It's about the percentages that are being accepted. A higher percentage of local kids whether they are UMC or not are being accepted due to the set asides. I don't know the exact number of elementary schools that feed into the TPMS magnet but it's 10 high school clusters so that's a lot of elementary schools. 
BCC alone has 9 elementary schools, Churchill something like 5, Whitman 5, WJ 6.
There are only 3 elementary school that feed into TPMS.[/quote]

LOL but don't mention that those ES are 2X larger than the counterparts you mentioned. [/quote]

Ya schools like PBES have 10 classes per grade whereas a place like CCES has like 3. [/quote]

Actual numbers: PBES has 213 5th graders, CCES has 185.[/quote]

Thank you for posting actual information. CCES usually has 5-7 classes per grade and they are usually filled to the max. I wish the Silver Spring posters would stop trying to turn every discussion into how their children and their schools are superior and manipulate data and facts to try to prove that. We get it. There are great students in all areas of MCPS. [/quote]
