Only 3-5 % of students qualify for gifted education. These students are identified through testing in the fall and spring. Identified students (95th percentile and above) participate in an enrichment program and receive services through their classroom teacher in their classroom.
Gifted learners have unique academic needs. Parents, educators, and the broader community have a responsibility to support all children as they reach for their personal best.
Parents can engage with their children to provide rich stimulation and learning experiences and discover ways to partner with schools and resources in the broader community to nurture their child’s specialized learning needs. Teaching gifted children may require special strategies like acceleration, cluster grouping and pull-out programing.
