What the official record confirms
Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
Published coverageK-12 referral and identification with differentiated general-day instruction, flexible grouping, enrichment, and special gifted classes
Published processParents can use the district Gifted Testing Request Form, and parents, teachers, students, psychologists, counselors, or principals may refer to the gifted coordinator. Staff may refer K-12 students at any time and are prompted three times yearly. A state-approved test measures verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal reasoning; 97th percentile in any area qualifies, while some students at or above the 94th percentile receive further contextual review.
Published modelPage provides intellectually challenging curriculum during the general school day through differentiated instruction, enriched content, flexible grouping, enrichment opportunities, and special gifted classes. The district also commits to trained staff and academic, social, and emotional support, although the exact combination depends on the student's school and needs.
