[quote=Anonymous]Here is advice from a longtime PG parent. Focus on finding your forever elementary school first. Testing in to TAG is not guaranteed even with a highly intelligent child. Getting a seat to a dedicated TAG center is also not guaranteed—ask me how I know (sigh). My advice is to find a K-5 or K-8 school you are happy with because TAG isn’t a sure bet. We ended up having to unenroll our child from PG altogether because the TAG lottery didn’t work out for second grade. She’s now back in PG at a dedicated TAG center but that was an expensive year and lesson learned. In hindsight I should have lotteried for any language immersion or the zoned performing arts school in K—stay far away from the charters. That way, if the TAG testing or TAG lottery didn’t pan out she was still at the best option for schooling throughout elementary outside of TAG until her number comes up in the TAG center lottery. All-in-all play the long game. Hope this helps. [/quote]
