[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, OP here - sounds like it's more a magnet system than a charter system - thanks for educating me.

Sounds like there is at least a medium good chance of getting into the language immersion and montessori elementary schools? They are considered pretty good? And if you don't get into one of those you might be able to arrange transport for your child to one of the under-enrolled elementary schools in the area if you prefer one of those schools.

Where can I find more info about TAG? Is the testing pre-k or later? Do you just go to your zoned ES first and then test into TAG programming later? [/quote]

PGCPS teacher and parent here. TAG is usually identified in first grade and third grade via a test. However, a parent and/or teacher can request a TAG screening any year. My son tested in fifth grade and was identified as TAG. This allowed him to go into the TAG lottery. He was able to get a spot. If you are TAG, you almost always get a spot. The performing arts lottery is a bit harder to get into. You only audition in when they hit middle school. Other than that, it’s by luck through the lottery. I do not know much about the language immersion schools, sorry. I also do not know much about the area in which you are seeking. However, I live in Bowie and I love it. I would never move anywhere else[/quote]
