Minnetonka schools have an awesome High Potential program. Ali Alowonle (seen on the right with students and Superintendent Dennis Peterson) is one of the teachers for these exceptionally gifted students.
In 2007, Minnetonka enhanced High Potential—an exceptional learning program for kids with academic, cognitive and creative skills higher than their classmates—by bolstering its elementary staffing. High Potential had been the district’s only exceptional learning program; adding Navigator released resources for even higher-level learners by moving them into a unique learning space of their own where they could further flourish.
Student eligibility for Navigator requires an IQ of 145 and is also determined by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, which identifies key cognitive strengths and weaknesses related to a student’s learning disabilities, executive function, attention disorders, traumatic brain injuries or intellectual disability, as well as giftedness.
