Highly Capable
SPS Highly Capable Services
At Seattle Public Schools (SPS), we are focused on honoring and supporting the brilliance of every student.
Seattle Public Schools is expanding access to Highly Capable (HC) services with the addition of two new elementary school sites—Alki Elementary School and Rainier View Elementary School—beginning in the 2026–27 school year.
The expansion reflects feedback gathered during community engagement sessions, where families and educators consistently shared the importance of offering Highly Capable services closer to students’ homes. By adding these two sites, the district aims to improve accessibility, strengthen neighborhood school connections, and better serve students across Seattle.
