TANGLEWOOD REGIONAL CENTER

Tanglewood Regional Center is a public elementary school that is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools school district, located in Clinton, MD with about 33 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 9 teachers, Tanglewood Regional Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Tanglewood Regional Center, located in Clinton, Maryland, operates as a specialized educational facility under the umbrella of the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) system. Unlike a traditional K-12 school, the center functions as a targeted resource designed to provide specific academic, behavioral, and therapeutic support services to students who require an alternative educational environment. By offering a more intimate setting, the center aims to address the unique learning needs of its student population, helping them regain academic footing and work toward successful reintegration into the general education system.

The school is structured to provide a comprehensive approach to student development, emphasizing both rigorous academic standards and social-emotional growth. Through its partnership with PGCPS, Tanglewood utilizes specialized instructional strategies and personalized learning plans that allow educators to work closely with individual students. The center serves as a critical bridge for those who may have struggled in conventional school settings, fostering a supportive community that prioritizes safety, individualized attention, and the ultimate goal of long-term educational achievement.
