Besides the core academic courses of Language Arts, Reading (in 6th grade), Math, Social Studies, and Science, there is also a wide variety of Electives offered. These include Spanish, French, Art (2D and 3D), Chorus, Band, Drama, Journalism, Computers, and Media Production. Physical Education and Health are also part of the student's daily curriculum. Ongoing conferences with parents to communicate the progress of students will occur each quarter in the form of letters/email, mentoring, phone conferences, progress reports and report cards. Student attendance and behavior will also be monitored in addition to academic performance. Each grade level is comprised of three (3) teams. One of these teams is for Gifted students and the other two (2) are for Academically Talented students. A team usually has approximately 150 students. These students rotate among the core academic teachers, physical education/health, and an elective. Each grade level also has their own House Administrator who is responsible for overseeing the day to day workings of their House as well as handling discipline and other problems
