• Criteria for Services

     

    Criteria for Enrichment in Grades 3-4

    A Standard Age Score of 128 or above on the CogAT identifies a student as gifted in the area of superior cognitive.  A score of 95% or higher on the i-Ready Reading or Math test (2nd-8th grade) identifies a student as gifted in that specific academic area.  


    Students who are identified as gifted are served in their regular classroom through cluster grouping and differentiation in the content area to meet their individual needs.
