Academic Talent Program

Academic Talent Program

The Academic Talent Program (ATP) is a magnet class program for ¶¶ÒôÒõapp in grades 4 through middle school who are identified as highly gifted using local measurements. The ATP offers ¶¶ÒôÒõapp the opportunity to work in a homogeneous setting where their unique talents and abilities are challenged to the fullest extent. The curriculum is fast paced, complex and individualized. ATP is not for all ¶¶ÒôÒõapp who are gifted and/or academically strong. It is not a gateway to Advanced Placement courses or top-ranked colleges. To find out more information about what ATP is and what it is not, click on the links below to view the past year's presentation slides. 
 
The selection of ¶¶ÒôÒõapp for the ATP is based on the CogAT scores within ¶¶ÒôÒõapp Unified School District local norms (a comparison of ¶¶ÒôÒõapp within our district). To be initially eligible for ATP selection, ¶¶ÒôÒõapp must receive a Local Percentile Rank (LPR) of 97 or above on the locally normed CogAT taken at SRVUSD. These scores are not the same as the nationally normed scores that are posted on Campus Portal. Local scores can be obtained by contacting Tiffany Marquez at tmarquez@srvusd.net or assessment office at ecassessmentmainline@srvusd.net.
 
Parents of ¶¶ÒôÒõapp who have qualifying scores will be notified by a letter. The ATP selection panel also reviews ¶¶ÒôÒõapp' other measures, such as classroom work samples and input from the school to select ¶¶ÒôÒõapp who demonstrate the ability and need to work in a highly challenging and fast-paced instructional environment. Based on these measures, ¶¶ÒôÒõapp will be accepted and placed in the ATP program. ATP classes are currently offered at Bella Vista Elementary School and at Diablo Vista, Gale Ranch, and Windemere Ranch Middle Schools.
