[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 60% come from an HGC.

Depends on the year and particular HGC but we were told that about one half to two thirds of the students at our cluster HGC attend a ms magnet. [/quote]

please check my math:

so.. basically like One third? of students from HGC get into the MS Magnet?:

Considering that average HGC has about three classes that makes about 90 studnents.. of which two third would be 60 out of which
half means 30?

That is a WHOLE LOT.. considering that Takoma takes 100 students out of the neighborhood total.. out of which 60% supposed to be from HGC..
so that makes 60 students from ALL Gifted Centers from the area.. and if 30 students comes from your Highly Gifted Center alone
that is one smart bunch!

Unless you meant 30 students in total get into gifted MS and that would mean both Takoma and Eastern
so 30 students divided by 2 schools.. 15 students takes spots in each Gifted Middle? And from one Gifted Center alone?
Wowl!
 
Which center that is may we ask?

My quick independent calculations and estimates are as follows:
Two schools: Eastern, Takoma, each takes give or take 100 students so total 200
out of which 60% are from Gifted centers from around the County..
so that makes 120 kids from gifted.

Since 6 gifted centers feeds into each Gifted Middle so ..
120 Gfited Kids accepted.. divided by 6 centers = 20 per center.
Each has 3 classes so 20 divided by 3 gives you about .. 6.5 kid per class
accepted to either Takoma or Easter..

Does this sound about right ? - question to those who had their kids at
Takoma or Eastern? Do those numbers check?[/quote]

The year my dc went from Eastern to the blair magnet there were only 4 students.  It's not evenly distributed between Takoma magnet and Eastern.

Now, not many apply from Eastern -- so I can't speak to the acceptance rate.[/quote]

I think you meant to say not AS many - but about 600 apply for 100 spots for Eastern vs. 900 for 100-ish spots for TP.  You decide based on your child's interest - a child who loves Science/Computers and is eh about reading/writing would HATE Eastern - Eastern has LOTS and LOTS of writing and LOTS and LOTS of reading.[/quote]
