[quote=Anonymous]It is not a thing at all schools. At a school that does LLIV (not a center) using a self contained classroom model (not the cluster model), there will sometimes be 22 level iv students but there need to be 26 students in the classroom to balance class sizes across the grade. Then the principal (or teachers or aart or whomever) will identify 4 highly capable students to round out the classroom. It is a one year placement.

The next year, maybe the class need 6 kids because a few moved away, the following year they don’t need any because more students were identified or the classes are balanced at 23 kids now. Continued placement is not guaranteed. Kids are not “officially” marked as level iv students, so not eligible for level iv courses in middle school. You do not apply. You will not be notified before enrollment is solidified and classes are made for the fall.

This does not happen at center schools where classrooms are fully level iv students, or at schools where they do LLIV through a cluster model where every classroom is mixed ability levels.[/quote]
