[quote=Anonymous]If the county increased the number of seats at middle school TAG magnets and would guarantee a slot for every TAG identified student, would you stay at your local elementary school?
I know several families who have said they only transferred their kids to the TAG elementary school magnet in order to ensure a slot at a TAG a middle school.  So I wonder what would happen if they just increased the number of slots available.  Would folks stay at their local public elementary schools through 5/6th grade?

There are LOTS of middle school that are seriously under-enrolled.  Why couldn't PGCPS add more TAG middle school spaces so all TAG identified kids could get seats?  Rather than have 1 TAG class per grade, have 2?  If you look at the waiting list for TAG middle school lottery's, it seems like there is a demand for it.

If you had a guaranteed slot at a TAG middle school, would you send your kids to Glenarden Woods/Highland Park/Heather Hills etc?  Or would you stay at your local ES?
