Kingman Unified School District parent navigator Last updated 09/09/2026
Kingman Unified publishes separate routes for Arizona-qualified gifted students and a broader local advanced-learner pathway. Families can request screening, all second graders are screened, and the district publishes recurring fall, winter, and spring testing windows.

What the official record confirms
Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
Published coverageK-12 advanced and gifted learning, including universal second-grade screening and grade-level advanced classes or enrichment
Published processArizona gifted status requires a CogAT score at or above the 97th percentile. Kingman also recognizes district gifted status at the 95th or 96th percentile and uses broader advanced-placement evidence that may include CogAT, i-Ready or AASA performance, teacher recommendation, and a site-team review.
Published modelStudents identified under Arizona or Kingman criteria are placed in advanced classes or participate in enrichment programs appropriate to their grade and school. Placement in an advanced classroom is reviewed using current performance evidence and depends on course capacity, endorsed staff, and available campus space.
