As Washington moves to provide appropriate educational opportunities for all of the state's students, the Highly Capable Program (HCP) provides funding to school districts to institute educational opportunities that meet the unique academic needs of this student population. Students who are Highly Capable Learners often have high levels of academic performance; however, their academic needs are not adequately met in the traditional classroom. Programs for highly capable students are needed in order to challenge these students to meet their academic potential.

Finley School District’s Highly Capable Program serves elementary students.
