School for the Talented and Gifted Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-08-17 “TAG is an excellent school for college-bound kids who want an academically challenging high school experience. It has a great track record for passing AP exams, admissions to elite colleges, and scholarships awarded. The faculty members are extremely dedicated and caring. The student body is small but extremely diverse in every way -- race, nationality, religion, neighborhood and socio-economic class. Everyone gets along really well, including students, parents & faculty. The trade-offs are no sports program (some people would say this is actually an advantage) and some fairly long commutes from the far corners of Dallas ISD's huge district to TAG.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-06-29 “As an incoming Junior at the Talented and Gifted Magnet, I couldn't want better. The teachers really help you on an individual basis and you have so many opportunities. One of the qualities, outside of the fabulous education, I admire most about TAG is the family-like atmosphere. Everybody literally knows or knows of everybody. The principal knows all 200 students by name and you each student graduates with a minimum of 10 AP courses, however it is usually around 14-16. To any student that really wants a challenge and a family-like atmosphere and the opportunity to go to nearly any college you wish, I would attend TAG.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-10 “TAG was just named the #1 H.S. in the U.S. by Newsweek magazine. It is small but has an incredibly diverse student body.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-01 “Great school, great teachers - the surroundings do harken to the 'inner city', but that is quickly overshadowed by the education offered.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-27 “The academic program far exceeds any in the DISD. The student to teacher ratio is small and the students receive individual attention. The atmosphere is positive and the students are surrounded by a peer group that is motivated and has a desire to learn.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-03-12 “Excellent college prepatory school. Teaching is geared toward advanced placement tests. No sports; art and band programs are for the entire magnet center, not just the tag magnet.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-06 “This school was ranked number one on TEEP'S top 100 high schools in the United States of America. I recommend this school to anyone looking to persue in a medical career of any kind. The courses are very challenging and prepare students for college.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2003-09-09 “This is an incredible school. It has been ranked as the best school in DISD, and, as a sophomore at TAG, I feel that this school has wonderful students and teachers.” Posted By: Quality Score: 5 2003-07-07 “My son will be a senior at the Talented and Gifted Magnet High Scool in Dallas this coming school year. This was the best option for him as he is very bright and is adequately challenged by the AP Curriculum. The techers and staff are committed to the students, by being available both during the school year before and after school and during the summer for help with homework and summer independant study work. They are dedicated to the success of each student, focusing on the uniqueness of each individual and capitalizing on that for success. The staff and teachers know the students and their parents, and encourage parental involvement in all aspects of the students' activities.”
