Hybrid model adopted March 2025 preserves the HCC self-contained cohort pathway alongside neighborhood-based HC services through at least 2027-28. Beginning 2026-27 the district adds two new HC elementary sites (Alki and Rainier View) and pilots single-domain identification (reading-only or math-only). Beginning January 2026 universal screening auto-includes all 1st and 4th graders; grades 2-3 and 5-8 require parent/educator referral. The 2027-28 horizon is a watch date because the original HCC sunset has only been paused, not cancelled.

Seattle Public Schools · grades 2–5 · district-wide Highly Capable Cohort option school in Licton Springs, North Seattle
Every child in this building tested into Seattle's Highly Capable program. Cascadia is the district's dedicated Highly Capable cohort elementary for the city's north end, and no other fact about the school matters as much as that one design decision. It buys what a neighborhood school cannot: baseline math instruction set two grade levels ahead, a Math League team that won its state division in 2026, and classrooms where an advanced kid is unremarkable rather than an outlier.
But you would be enrolling in a program on a countdown. Seattle Public Schools planned to dissolve the cohort on equity grounds, reversed course in March 2025 after intense parent pushback, and now guarantees the grades 2–5 cohort only through the 2027–28 school year (district Highly Capable program update). Families who want maximum peer acceleration now, and can tolerate policy risk, get a school built precisely for their kid. Families planning a stable K–8 arc should know the full-cohort experience currently stops at 5th grade, and could be restructured again after 2028.
