Placement in the 1A programs is reserved for students who consistently meet the district’s highest academic benchmarks. To remain in the program, students are expected to maintain strong academic performance and demonstrate perseverance, resilience, and a growth mindset when engaging with rigorous traditional and non-traditional assessments.

Students who experience difficulty meeting the expectations of the 1A program will be reviewed on an individual basis and provided with appropriate supports. However, if a student is unable to consistently meet the academic and performance expectations of the coursework, program placement may be reconsidered.
