[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm also convinced that the two TAG only center schools was a  horrible idea and should be broken down into two or three school apiece. [b]TAG programs should be in schools with a comprehensive program that would allow students that are high achieving in one area (for example math) to take classes across programs even if they don't qualify for the whole program[/b]. Two of the best schools in the state are Heather Hills and Glenarden Woods, but the county reputation as a whole doesn't hinge on the test scores of two schools. As a result, there are a [b]lot of schools with lower ranked scores that might be boosted up a level or two if the comprehensive program also housed a TAG center rather than pulling those kids out.[/b][/quote]

EXACTLY!!! If PGCPS would invest more in the "TAG in the regular classroom" program AND gave those parents a guaranteed path to an acceptable middle school option everyone would benefit.  Right now if you send your kid to the TAG magnet you can be set until graduation because those kids have automatic admission to the TAG middle school magnet and those kids have continuation to IB programs.  If you don't send your kids to the TAG ES then you are rolling the dice as far as MS and HS.
