Advantage Academy believes that all students have unique abilities and can achieve success within an inclusive educational environment. Students who receive special education are educated in the least restrictive environment, whether that includes accomodations within a typical classroom or additional areas of support.
If a student is experiencing learning difficulties, support services are available based on Multi-Tired Support Systems (MTSS) and Response to Interention (RtI). Learn more about RtI.
A parent/guardian may request an evaluation for special education or Section 504 services at any time. Please contact the individual(s) listed below to learn about the District’s referral for support services.
