Highly Capable / gifted pathway Paid

Two service tracks at elementary starting in 3rd grade: SAGE (pull-out at neighborhood school) and MERLIN (site-specific self-contained). 2nd-grade universal screening uses i-Ready, CogAT, and TTCT; identified students continue in the program through grade 12 unless they exit.

Curated from district Highly Capable program pages, with observed-at dates and confidence labels.

Parent capital (PTA / boosters) Paid

Issaquah Sunset Elementary PTA 2.6.30 (FY 2024): $157,177 · 990

Aggregated from IRS Form 990 filings via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. Per NMSC-style caveats elsewhere on this page, PTA revenue is one signal among many — it does not measure educational quality.
