[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will be moving to PG county in the spring. My daughter is going to the second grade next year. I noticed that there is TAG testing for children at this age. In MOCO county they can not test for TAG this early.  I noticed that the TAG schools are rated very high on school diggers however, if all students are TAG i can see why. Which i do not have a problem because i can understand parents wanting the best program for their child. However, are the TAG schools instruction,teachers,  school environment or what they offer much better and is that why parents pull kids from their local schools TAG program.

How many parents have kept their kids in their local school even if they passed the TAG test and are happy? How many parents went TAG and brought their kids back to local school?[/quote]

Tag Schools in PG county do test very high, but also can be rigorous and give a lot of homework assignments as well. Percentage wise there are more kids in private schools in Moco and Nova then there are in PG county...but nobody ever brings that up. local school may be fine, but the Tag program may push your highly academic child harder and faster, which what most parents of tag teachers want[/quote]
