The Talented and Gifted School for Young Scholars (TAG) is one of New York City’s five public citywide gifted and talented (G&T) schools. Founded in 1989, TAG is located in the vibrant neighborhood of East Harlem and serves grades K through 8.
TAG has the most diverse student body of the five citywide G&T schools. Our students are exceptional, with incoming kindergartners scoring in the 99th percentile on a national test used to determine admissions to gifted programs in NYC. In general, TAG students work at least one year above their grade level. TAG consistently ranks as one of the top performing schools in NYC and received an overall grade of “A” in its most recent progress report. TAG was also the recipient of the Blackboard Award for Outstanding Elementary and Middle School in 2013. Mayor Bloomberg recognized TAG as one of the top 22 schools in NY State in 2013.

GET READY FOR IPLEDGE
This is our annual fundraising drive in which we raise the majority of the PTA's budget. The money we raise will have a profound impact on our children and their educational experience. This year our IPLEDGE goals are $250,000 and 100% participation.
Anything you can give will help make a difference for all the children of TAG. We are asking those families who can, to contribute $1,250 per student. Please help us meet the goal and ANY amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity!
