My daughter was at a neighborhood daycare from ages 1-3, and has been at UMD's Center For Young Children for 3K and 4k (it will take her through kindergarten). And then...I'm panicking. Our zoned elementary school is University Park, which I've both heard can be great and also potentially rocky. If she tests into Glenarden Woods, that seems like the right academic choice, but also means that she would be have been in four different schools by third grade. That seems like a lot! Our other options would be just keeping her at UP, or trying Friends Community, which goes all the way to eighth grade. If you're in PG County, I'd love to hear what you did/are doing and how you felt about it.[/quote]
You'd be surprised by how many TAG-identified students remain at UPES instead of going to Glenarden Woods, so I think that says something about people valuing UPES.[/quote]

This is a solid point.  One option is to go to UPES and stay through 4th grade and then apply to GWES for 5th.  We did something similar for our kid this past year so that he had a guaranteed spot for Middle School.  
As far as switching schools, if you go the UPES to TAG route, there will be neighborhood friends at the new school.  My kid had more neighborhood friends at the TAG school than at our local school.  [/quote]
