[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can get into the TAG program in elementary and attend school at one of the elementary TAG centers you'll be automatically sent to a TAG program in middle school. It's harder to lottery into a TAG middle school from a regular elementary. This may change as they add more middle school programs, but if you're offered an elementary slot take it, even if the commute is longer. And then if your TAG middle school grades support it you can get into the IB programs without having to test in. In my experience the TAG elementary an middle schools are excellent and worth it. I have heard from parents whose turned down an elementary TAG slot because their inbounds elementary school was good and kicked themselves when they did not lottery into the TAG program in middle school.[/quote]

This largely depends on where you live.  I was offered a TAG ES slot for Highland Park and declined and I have NO regrets.  Since the new TAG center at Tasker started all the students who applied to Tasker and Kenmoor got in for 6th grade this year.  Walker Mill also accepted everyone who applied.  Greenbelt MS and Accokeek are another story.  Folks who live in the Northern part of the County should put pressure on PGCPS to open a new TAG center somewhere....Maybe MLK or Eisenhower Middle School?
