High Ability
HHSC High Ability Mission Statement
Hamilton Heights School Corporation (HHSC) recognizes that some students perform at, or show the potential to perform at, an outstanding level of accomplishment in the core academic areas of language arts and mathematics. These students are found in all socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, and HHSC recognizes the need to identify such students through systematic, ongoing procedures. The high ability program provides a supportive learning climate that will enrich learning so students can maximize academic potential and develop emotionally and socially to be contributing members of society.

Identifying High Ability
The state of Indiana and HHSC define a High Ability Student as a student who “performs at, or shows the potential for performing at, an outstanding level of accomplishment in at least one domain when compared to other students of the same age, experience, or environment; and is characterized by exceptional gifts, talents, motivation, or interests.” At Hamilton Heights School Corporation, we identify students in three domains: general intellectual, language arts, and math.
High Ability Program Overview
Hamilton Heights School Corporation is committed to maximizing student potential. A rigorous, differentiated core curriculum provides appropriate challenges for the majority of students. At times further differentiation or additional programming is appropriate to meet the needs of students who show exceptional strength in reading and/or mathematics.
