[quote=Anonymous][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]

My son got into TAG but there were no more spaces in the program.

Another time:

We tried many times and never got into any programs due to either lack of space or the ineptitude of the systems. We were #2 on the list for one program. Teachers said their classes were not full at all. But the computer system was messed up and said the school was full.

For a high school program, they do not have a science teacher so the kids are in a room and asked to fill in worksheets.

It is a hot mess in this county.

Getting  a specialty program spot now is a lot easier than it was 7  or more years ago.  PGCPS has expanded language immersion, Montessori and TAG programs significantly.  My son is in K and all of his neighborhood friends who applied for specialty programs got into at least one.
