Students with IEPs
Instructional Support Services (I.S.S)
Aviation High School proudly celebrates neurodiversity and is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive community for all students.
We design our programs to align with mandated services outlined in students' IEPs. Historically, we have provided the following educational programs:
- Related Service Only
- SETSS (Special Education Teacher Support Services)
- Integrated Co-Teaching (40% Special Education, 60% General Education)
- Small Class Setting (15:1 student-to-teacher ratio)
- Assistive Technology Devices and Services
Students are promoted and fully integrated into mainstream classes based on their individual progress, skill development, parental consent, and recommendations from the IEP team.
We offer a range of related services to support students' unique needs, including:
- Counseling: Provided individually or in group settings.
- Speech/Language Therapy: Delivered in individual or group sessions.

Career Technical Education (CTE):
- All 9th and 10th-grade students with IEPs participate fully in the mainstream CTE program. Students who wish to pursue FAA licensing will continue in the CTE program through 11th and 12th grade, gaining the skills and qualifications needed for success in the Aviation field.
Career Exploration Courses:
- Career Exploration courses are tailored for 11th and 12th-grade students with IEPs who choose not to pursue licensing or opt out of the CTE program. These courses focus on helping students discover their strengths, explore their interests, and set meaningful career goals, providing a personalized pathway to future success.

- Same-Day Completion: Extended time must be used on the same day the exam is administered.
- After-School Availability: Extended time sessions are only available after school.
- Applicable Subjects: This option is limited to exams in Math, ELA, Science, and History.
