-Science and Social Studies: Advanced Science and Advanced Social Studies are available at select middle and K-8 schools. 
-Math: All middle schools offer Advanced Math.  Students previously enrolled in a Walk-Up to Math class naturally progress to Advanced Math.  (*Students who are new to Deer Valley or new to the program are required to earn a passing score on the Middle School Math Placement Test.)  

Depending on the school, the class could be taught on site, through our DVUSD Online Learning Program, or at the local high school (transportation provided by the district). Math placement options include: 7th Grade Math / 8th Grade Math / Algebra 1-2* / Algebra 3-4* / Geometry* (*high school credit).

Students qualify for placement in an advanced level course by meeting the district requirements for placement in the gifted program or meeting school standards for advanced placement.
