Students wishing to participate in the elementary A.L.L. and secondary A.L.L. services must be tested for placement.  All students in the district are notified and invited to test.  Students test the January previous to the year they desire to place in A.L.L.

• Parents make the first step of identification by registering their child to test into the program.
• Students wishing to participate in the Elementary A.L.L. programs are given the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) in verbal, non-verbal, and quantitative assessments. Students take Form 7 levels 9-12 for placement in 4th-6th grade. Students also take a 30 minute writing assessment.
• Students wishing to participate in the Secondary A.L.L. programs are given the CogAT in verbal, non-verbal, and quantitative assessments. They also take a district created subject based test for science and social studies.
• Sixth grade students have the option of taking the accelerated math test for 7th grade at the same time as other A.L.L. tests.
• Language and other accommodations are available.
• A teacher survey is also used as a part of identification for students who do not score above 90% in all academic testing categories. Additional evidence may be considered for students as well as we finalize placement decisions. This includes school and classroom assessments. There is an appeal process for students who would like to have different evidence considered if they are not placed after initial testing.
• Testing results are posted on Skyward and placement acceptance and decline notices are sent from the A.L.L. magnet site or junior high prior to spring break.
