Challenging Academic Potential (CAP)
The district’s Challenging Academic Potential (CAP) program offers a cluster program for grade one, and classroom programs for students in grades two through twelve. CAP blends into honors and AP classes during a student’s middle and high school years.
The CAP program for first through fourth graders is housed at Central Elementary.
A teacher or parent can nominate a child for the CAP program. District-wide testing is also used to recognize potential CAP students. A high school student can nominate himself or herself for honors or AP classes.
Once a child is nominated, he or she is given an achievement test in reading and math and a cognitive ability, or I.Q., test.
