Middle School Program

Cluster Classrooms:

Small (4-8) groups of identified gifted students who move at similar pace or level

are placed in the regular classroom along with a heterogeneous group of students who

comprise the rest of the regular-sized class. Instruction and curriculum are modified to

meet the special needs of the exceptional learner. The goal of clustering is to provide

academically talented students with the opportunity to interact intellectually, socially, and

emotionally with other peers in an environment that provides stimulating and challenging

opportunities that meet their unique needs. Cluster classrooms are available in grades five

and six.

      Advanced courses in Math and Language Arts are offered for students looking for challenging curriculum opportunities at the 7th and

8th grade levels.  Students may apply for admission to the advanced math and language arts classes in the spring of each year.  Criteria

for admission is based on MCA scores, GPA, classroom performance and Continental Math scores.
