Each school has a screening committee to review test scores and other data that will aid in determining eligibility. Students who are referred for further evaluation are assessed in mental ability, achievement, motivation, and creativity. Referral for screening DOES NOT guarantee placement in the Gifted program. Students must meet the criteria in at least three of these four areas in order to be eligible for gifted services. The State Board of Education determines eligibility criteria for placement in the gifted program.
