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 in grades 5-8. Students must qualify for placement into advanced classes. Criteris for
placement can be found on the Advanced Criteris Process tab.
