Highland Park Independent School District (Dallas): gifted testing

Dates and requirements change. Always confirm with Highland Park Independent School District (Dallas) directly. Last checked: 2026-10-28 · district website

Talented and Gifted (TAG)

Grades K-12

Highland Park ISD gives the CogAT to all 1st and 3rd graders. Parents of current students can register (nominate) their child for TAG testing once a year; registration for 2026-27 placement testing is closed. Placement needs a preponderance of evidence across ability, achievement and creativity assessments and parent and teacher input; high MAP scores alone do not show a need for TAG services.
