[quote=Anonymous]I've had TAG kids in comprehensive schools through 5th grade and I don't think there is a huge difference in the rigor of the curriculum compared to my youngest who is at a TAG center.  The TAG program has a lot more projects.  
My older kids went from a comprehensive ES to a TAG center MS and were straight A students so I don't know that they came in behind their peers who went to a TAG center.  
There are a lot of benefits to staying in your neighborhood school and we were really on the fence about moving our youngest.

Your local school should be differentiating for higher achieving students already.  Not all TAG students leave and not all high achieving kids are TAG identified.  Our comprehensive school clustered all the TAG students in one classroom so that the teacher could accelerate instruction and/or go beyond the prescribed curriculum.  
Another option to ask if your child can go to a higher grade for Math and/or Reading if they are testing at the higher grade.
