Highly Capable Nomination Window

Bainbridge Island School District offers services to students who have been identified as highly capable. Highly capable students are those who perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels. Services are provided for students in grades K-12.

In the Spring referral window, all students in grades K-11 may be referred by teachers, family, or community members.

If your student is in 2nd or 5th grade, you do not need to complete a referral because every student in these grades will be screened to determine eligibility for HC programming. Specific information about the screening process for 2nd and 5th grade will be shared through your student's school in late February.

For grades K, 1, 3, 4, 6-11, If you are interested in having your student evaluated for our Highly Capable program, please visit our Highly Capable webpage for more information.

The referral submission link was posted on February 10th and will remain open until March 3rd at 5PM.
