[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't Longfellow sent only 2 individuals from Chapter to State this year? I don't think their bench is so deep that we'd have to worry about the 13th.

True.  No team in the area has such a deep bench that the #13 kid would have a legitimate shot at making state or nationals.  I don't know what the numbers are this year, but last year, [b]Longfellow had 8 kids qualify for AIME out of nearly 100 taking the AMC10, [/b]and likely at least half of those barely qualified.  The majority of the 100 kids who took AMC 10 are the types in AoPS/RSM/Curie/Chinese School math classes who despite all of the training fell short.  While I'm sure that #13 and on would have enjoyed competing, it's not like Mathcounts is excluding deeply talented kids.  [/quote]
Wondering how you know this, is this still public info, or is it no longer provided by MAA?

I didn't know that Longfellow gives the AMC 10 to kids; I thought they all have to take it somewhere else outside of their school. I wonder how many other middle schools in FCPS do this; probably very few.[/quote]

It was published in Longfellow's news you choose feed.  They definitely offer it at school and have done so for quite a long time.  [/quote]
