JUNIOR HIGH LEVEL: GRADES 6 - 8

In Alvin ISD, students at the junior high level receive differentiated services with specially trained teachers in each of the four core content areas through Alvin ISD Pathway to Advancement (APA), Magnet Academic Program (MAP), Advanced Placement (AP), or the STEM Academy.  

An Advanced Academics Specialist offers individual and group support for teachers and students in order to implement and produce advanced coursework and products. High quality, specialized professional development is offered to teachers of these courses along with teachers of our GT identified students, through the district as well as through outside sources. 

The wide range of learning experiences at this level may include out-of-school competition options, as well as in-school individualized learning opportunities in the different content areas. The Advanced Academics Specialist at the junior high campus communicates the progress of gifted learners to parents.
