Middle School Highly Gifted Program Overview

  • Students from other elementary gifted programs, who have qualifying achievement and ability scores, are also encouraged to apply for the Highly Gifted Program at Romig.

     

    The Highly Gifted Program at Romig is dedicated to academic challenge and support for the needs of learners identified as highly gifted.  Teachers are involved in continued education and special training to meet the needs of all students, including highly gifted students. Teachers are committed, passionate professionals who strive to challenge and support the gifted learner. 

     

    At each grade level, Highly Gifted Program students attend language arts and science classes with other students enrolled in the Highly Gifted Program.  Math class placement is based on students’ past courses and achievement. For instance, if the prerequisites are met, students may attend Algebra, Geometry, or Algebra II at Romig Middle School, or they may enroll in upper-level math courses at West High.
