Gifted Education

Grades K-12

Students enter gifted evaluation through the online Gifted Education Referral and Review form during the yearly referral period. Testing is in person at the student's school: a thinking and reasoning test, a creative thinking assessment and a student perception inventory, plus parent and teacher inventories, work samples and recent grades. A student may be evaluated once per school year. Eligible students in grades 3-8 may also be considered for the full-time Center-Based Gifted Program.
