Grade 5
Beginning in fifth grade, students with specific ability in either mathematics or language arts literacy can be assigned to ability-grouped sections. The identification of students for these sections begins in the fourth grade.
Grades 6-8
Beginning in sixth grade, students with specific ability in science and/or social studies can be assigned to ability-grouped sections in these content areas. Universal screening takes place every year for all students. Students currently in E classes, in good academic standing, will continue in the program. The district utilizes multiple criteria in the identification process.
