Aspire provides a continuum of services to eligible students in grades 1-12. Aspire services are different at various grades; the continuum of services is fluid and responsive to student needs as well as district capacity. Options for service may include: accelerated learning opportunities and advanced grade placement, academic grouping arrangements that provide intellectual and interest peer group interactions, self-contained classrooms, honors classes, Advanced Placement classes, and Running Start classes.

The referral window for the Aspire program opens in mid-October for testing referrals.

The deadline for referrals is December 4, 2026.
