Yep, our neighborhood elementary school feeds into 3 different middle schools.

Thanks for the clarification. The whole feeder school is crazy. Although you may live closer to a specific school you may be zoned for a Middle School that is further away. Hopefully they look at the zoning for next school year but i am sure this is not on the priority list.

In recent years st least 20 to 30 (sometimes more) kids get in to rose and another 10 to 20 got into Flowers or Oxon Hill S & T from Kenmoor Middle. Even more got into the other competitive programs. Impressive!


Most kids living in Bowie no longer feed into Kenmoor TAG program. They will go to Tasker's new TAG program, which I have heard good things about.


I should clarify, most kids who live in Bowie and are zoned for Bowie High School are now in zone for Taskers TAG Program. Some of the most western parts of Bowie still feed into Kenmoor's TAG. Some kids who go to Woodmore Elementary are actually zoned for Walker Mill TAG. PGCPS feeder system is wonky.

6th Grade started this year and they will add 7th next year and 8th the year after that.
If you put your address into the School Finder page at PGCPS you should see it listed. It will list Kenmoor for 7-8 and Tasker for 6th.
