Who and which grades
Published coverageAges 4-21; universal screening in Grades 2 and 6
How students are considered
Published processParent, teacher, or student recommendation begins the process. The school GT coordinator collects achievement, cognitive, behavior-scale, work-sample, portfolio, interview, and other advanced-performance evidence. One school testing date is typical each year, so the parent permission form must arrive before that date. The central AAGS team decides formal identification, talent pool, or no identification and sends a letter home.
What service can look like
Published modelEvery school offers gifted programming, and each identified student receives an Advanced Learning Plan shaped by family and student input. Services vary by level and campus; Hulstrom K-8 is the district magnet for advanced academics and gifted education. Talent-pool students receive academic and social-emotional programming while more evidence develops.
