Middle School Gifted Opportunities

  • Students are exited from the gifted program and IGNITE at the end of elementary school, except for those attending the Highly Gifted programs at Romig Middle School and West High School. Interested families should inquire at their neighborhood middle school about opportunities for acceleration and enrichment.

    Highly Gifted at Romig

    Students qualified for the Highly Gifted Program at Romig Middle School are placed in language arts and science classes with only highly gifted students.
