Does WCPSS offer other opportunities for acceleration?
Yes! WCPSS offers Single Subject Acceleration, Early Kindergarten Entry, and Whole Grade Replacement. These programs are separate from AIG.
Every child deserves to be challenged in a meaningful way. In some rare cases, that is best served through acceleration. Learn more about the opportunities provided at Oak Grove:
Whole Grade Advancement (WGA)
Single Subject Acceleration
Single Subject Acceleration
(SSA)
(SSA)
Single Subject Acceleration (SSA) is the practice of assigning a student to a higher-grade level than is typical, given the student’s age, for the purpose of providing access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities in either math or English/language arts. For some schools, instruction will be delivered through face-to-face instruction. For fifth graders taking sixth grade content, delivery will be through online instruction.
Early Kindergarten Entry
Early Kindergarten Entry
(EKE)
(EKE)
Early Kindergarten Entry (EKE) is designed for a child who shows advanced development in intellectual, academic, social and emotional maturity in addition to an interest in learning. For a child to be considered for Early Kindergarten Entry (EKE), the child must have reached his/her fourth birthday by April 16th of the current year.
Whole Grade Advancement
Whole Grade Advancement
(WGA)
(WGA)
Whole Grade Advancement occurs when students move through traditional curriculum at rates faster than typical. 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 that grade level. The student should be able to maintain this high level of performance throughout his/her school career.
