Published criteria
- Florida rule 6A-6.03019, plan A: an IQ two standard deviations or more above the mean on an individually administered intelligence test (about the 98th percentile), a majority of gifted characteristics on a standard checklist, and need for a special program. Plan B: district criteria for under-represented groups (English learners, low-income families). source
