The MRAP (Middle School Reaching All Potential) program to provide a more structure, supports, and program targeted for students with significant behavioral needs in grades 7-8 that cannot be accomplished in a general education program. The program is highly structured and gives students the behavioral support needed to be successful. The overall goal is to teach students the behavior skills necessary to transition back to their home school. Academic instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of each individual student. Students in the 6th grade who participate in the WIN program will discuss placement options, including if MRAP is an appropriate placement, during the 6th grade spring ACR.

The criteria to participate in the MRAP program is based on an analysis to determine the student’s least restrictive environment (LRE). This analysis includes a review of a student’s needs, goals, services, supplementary aids, the BIP, and accommodations.  Placement decisions are made when expected progress on IEP goals in the general education would be less than the progress expected in a more restrictive placement
