Middle School 6-8

*Identified students in grade 6 keep their identification in the AIG program even if they are not included in the Advanced        Communication Skills and Mathematics Class.  The 6th grade advanced classes consist of those students whose previous     2  years' EOG scores average high enough to be placed in the advanced classes.  These students are rank ordered as to       their averages.


** Identified students in grades 7 and 8 are allowed to self-select into the advanced classes for each grade and subject.
     These students keep their AIG identification even though they elect to not take the advanced classes.

Grades are given to the regular Communication Skills teachers for the work completed in the AIG block time.
