Does anyone have a kid in Glenarden Woods right now?

After GW has become a TAG School instead of a TAG center? How diverse is the school?

Thanks

Hey there. I do. It is less diverse than our neighborhood comprehensive school, but that's because our neighborhood is more diverse than where the school is located.

I got this off the MSDE website for GWES:

Thank you very much, the reason I ask is that our ex-neighbor's son used to attend the TAG program there, but he's constantly being picked on by the local non-TAG kids at GW. So, despite the fact that the family was very happy with the academic progress, they moved. I hope that's not the case anymore since GW is a total TAG school now.

My son is there now and I am confident that any bullying issues would be dealt with appropriately. One downfall is that they lost their counselor position last year with cuts so there is not one designated adult who is trained in this area. I hope they get a counselor back next year.

My nephew attends, and he's a completely geeky little kid. He used to get picked on at his private school, but so far so good at GW. One thing parents should expect is that it really is intensive with the workload. My nephew was consistently testing above grade level at his private but he had a lot of trouble initially at GW.

I pulled mine because the difference between our local school and GW was the amount of homework. With snack time and dinner time interrupting homework time, it took about three hours a night. No second grader should have hours worth of homework.
