Whole Grade Advancement (WGA)

What is Whole Grade Advancement (or WGA) in WCPSS?

Whole Grade Advancement (WGA) occurs when students move through traditional curriculum at rates faster than typical. It means matching the level and complexity of the curriculum with the readiness and motivation of the student. The student who is whole grade advanced is placed into the next grade and should achieve at the same level as the top students in the next grade. The student should be able to maintain this high level of performance throughout his/her school career.
