[quote=Anonymous]The TAG program is a separate program within the middle school.   I believe there are 5 classes of 6th graders in the TAG program.  Then they move up to become 5 classes in 7th grade and 5 classes in 8th grade.   When my son attended, there were no non-TAG identified 6th grade students at the school, but there were many in 7th and 8th grade.

Test scores reported combine all students, not just those in the TAG program.  Since 6th grade is just TAG students (I believe) you can kind of see the results of testing just for TAG students by looking at those test scores.   However, I believe that they come from many different elementary schools who carry some of the responsibility for preparation!

Here are results for 6th grade Math PARCC in 2015:  (130 6th grade students)

http://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/ParccResults.aspx?PV=71:6:16:1330:3:N:0:13:1:1:0:1:1:2:3

Score of 5:  0%  (exceeds standards)

Score of 4:  32%  (met standards)  41 students  (0 were SPED)

Score of 3:  39%  (approaching standards) 50 students (2 Were SPED)

Score of 2:  16 %  (partially met)  21 students (9 were SPED)

Score of 1:  13%  (not met)  17 students  (15 were SPED)

Those low scores of 1 and 2 are surprising to me in a TAG identified population.   Looking here, you can break down those scores and see the number of 1s and 2s that were identified as SPED:

The lack of Advanced (level 5) scores is also surprising, however only  130 students took the math grade 6 PARCC which 155 students took the reading Grade 6 PARCC.   I wonder if the advanced math class (25 students) took the 7th grade PARCC instead or something?

For Grade 6 English PARCC the results are here:   out of 155 students

Score of 5:   10%   (Exceeds standards)   16 students  (0 were SPED)

Score of 4:  48%  (met standards)  74 students  (0 were SPED)

Score of 3:  14%  (approaching standards) 21 students   (2 were SPED)

Score of 2:  15 %  (partially met)  23 students (9 were SPED)

Score of 1:  14%  (not met)  21 students  (15 were SPED)

By comparison here are the PARCC results for the whole county.

Math Grade 6:

Score 5:  0
Score 4:  12  %
Score 3:  27  %
Score 2 : 38  %
Score :    22  %
