Cascadia also aims to offer gifted students emotional support and an atmosphere of social inclusion and diversity.

Admission to Cascadia Highly Capable Cohort

Once qualified, an HC-eligible student must apply for the Highly Capable Cohort (HCC) program. To be identified as highly capable in Seattle District, students first take the CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test). Those students whose CogAT scores are in the 94th percentile or above, district-wide, are either invited to take the ITBS or Iowa Test of Basic Skills or assessed based on their existing achievement test scores.

Testing for Cascadia Highly Capable Cohort
