[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher within PGCPS. I do not have direct experience with Heather Hills, however, do know that the curriculum for TAG is the same as any regular PGCPS school. The only difference is that your child will be around more children that are typically like him or her, meaning, less behavioral issues, picking up on skills quickly, etc. That is always a win. So just be sure that if you go that route, you still challenge your child at home. [/quote]

Super helpful! Thank you![/quote]

Two of my kids (TAG identified) went through our local elementary school and one is at a TAG magnet (not HH). When they went to the TAG middle school, my older two were not behind at all compared to the kids who went to the TAG ES center and were eventually were offered spots at ERHS.  The only reason we moved my youngest to the TAG center was because there was a huge shift in staff at our local school and they weren't providing TAG services at all.   I would say the biggest difference is the kids do more projects than the regular classroom and can move at a slightly faster rate.

If you are happy at your local elementary school, I would stay put.  If your kid needs more rigorous classwork, ask that they be bumped up to a higher grade for math/reading.
I miss the 5 min walk to the local school vs the 30+ min drive to our TAG center.
