| I'm trying to map out a school path for my 4th grade son who is a B/C student with ADHD. Our neighborhood middle school isn't going to be a good place for him. So, I'm trying to figure out what PG County middle school might offer him a program that will support his IEP well and provide a supportive environment. Anyone with an ADHD diagnosed child in middle school with a good middle school experience? |

If you think he could be TAG identified, you should have him privately tested to see if he can pass the OLSAT at 81%.
Kenmoor MS does a great job with ADHD kids likely because they have a lot of people who are trained for the Autism program and pull any of them who are 2E into the TAG classrooms when appropriate. |

| Hopefully they have padded walls in the tag room. It sounds dangerous for a class to be hyped up on amphetamines and be bouncing off the walls playing tag when they should be learning. |

Sorry OP- I also live in PGCPS and went private for middle and high school for my AuDHD kid. Kenmoor might work, but I think you might have a hard time getting your child TAG identified- i don’t know about now, but there use to be point system based on grades that went along with the OLSAT requirement. Not sure if it’s still there.
In retrospect, I should have moved to HCPS. |

According to PGCPS "TAG identification is a multiple criteria process including cognitive ability test data, achievement data, teacher checklist of gifted characteristics, and report card grades." So there is a holistic review of the student prior to designation. |
