Who and which grades
Published coverage9-12
How students are considered
Published processTeachers make course recommendations, while counselors and administrators review course grades, standardized test scores, and successful completion of prerequisite courses. Grades and test evidence are reviewed on an ongoing basis; teacher recommendations are made in January.
What service can look like
Published modelStudents in Grades 9-12 can use Honors and AP classes plus academic clubs. Concurrent-enrollment courses are available in Grades 11-12. Course offerings and prerequisites determine the student's actual path rather than one separate gifted pull-out program.
