Gifted education services are available for identified and
qualifying students.
At the elementary level students may participate
in accelerated reading and/or math programs, focused acceleration, and
grade acceleration dependent on each student's area of need and
giftedness.
An elementary school level gifted intervention specialists are responsible
for the identified students' instruction and assessment in math and/or
language arts. The classes meet each day in place of regular classroom
instruction in those two disciplines.
The middle school programs consist of focused acceleration,
advanced math options, and language arts classes in which students are
clustered with teachers experienced in differentiated instruction. Middle school gifted intervention specialists in math and language arts
work with the classroom teacher, as well as with the students, to
develop and deliver appropriately challenging instruction. A wide range of options exist at the high school level for
identified and motivated students through honors classes, advanced
placement courses, independent study, mentorships, and post-secondary
enrollment through local colleges and universities.
A high school
level gifted intervention specialist is available to assist students in
scheduling, college applications, various summer opportunities, and
other issues.
