ALP Vision at Riverside

Riverside Elementary ALP cultivates an inclusive, high-expectation environment where students are nurtured all day, every day. Through complex curriculum and real-world application, we support the diverse academic and social-emotional needs of our students. In working with families and the community, we foster a safe, collaborative space that empowers scholars to think critically, behave purposefully, and impact the world.

ALP IN THE WCSD

The Washington County School District’s elementary Advanced Learning Program (ALP) provides gifted educational services for identified gifted and high ability first grade through fifth grade students. As part of the eligibility identification process, parents of K-4th grade students may choose to have their child evaluated. This evaluation consists of both both cognitive and academic assessments.

Students qualifying for an ALP placement have shown that they need an academic program that allows them to move more quickly, work with more complex concepts, and delve more deeply into academic content. ALP services are available at all district elementary schools, with full-day magnet classes at Diamond Valley (alongside Spanish Dual Immersion) and Riverside Elementary schools. Testing is for the program, not a specific school. However, due to geographical location, generally students on the east side of the county attend the ALP program at Riverside Elementary and students on the west side of the school district attend Diamond Valley Elementary.
