Who Should Be Tested?
- Staff members and parents can refer students for GT testing within the first three weeks of school or in May.
- Please review characteristics of gifted students before referring. Research online and see if your child has the potential for being gifted.
- Ask the campus GT teacher questions as well as your child’s previous classroom teachers if G.T. behaviors have been observed.
- Usually 5% of students qualify for Gifted Programs.
- Very bright students may not qualify. Early readers, all As, and high STAAR scores are excellent, but that isn’t always indicative of a student being gifted.
