What the official record confirms
Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
Published coverageK-12: K-2 weekly enrichment, Grades 3-6 weekly pullout, and Grades 7-12 differentiated and advanced pathways
Published processStudents, parents, and teachers each have a dedicated referral form on the current district page. The public overview does not state a numeric cutoff or complete evidence rubric, so families should use the parent form and request the assessment, consent, placement-committee, decision, and appeal steps from the coordinator.
Published modelK-2 students receive a weekly 30-minute whole-group enrichment lesson. Identified Grades 3-6 students receive 150 minutes of weekly pullout with projects, collaboration, self-guided learning, Quiz Bowl, and Chess. Grades 7-12 use differentiated content classes, honors, math acceleration, concurrent-credit college courses, and AP.
