Academic Programs for Academically Talented Students
District 204 offers a variety of academic programs to meet the needs of our students starting in 3rd grade. Although assessment occurs throughout the school year for all students, some programs require additional information in order to determine appropriate placement. Our identification process for Project Arrow and Accelerated Math programs includes the use of multiple measures when considering the whole child for academic programming. We consider standardized and normed assessment data including, but not limited to, the following: Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT), Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), AimswebPlus, classroom assessments and students' learning characteristics.
Please collaborate with your child's teacher if you are interested in having your child complete additional testing this winter in consideration for placement.
For additional information regarding the timeline and our programming in District 204, please see the below link.
