Barbour County, Alabama

Gifted Education

Alabama recognizes intellectually gifted learners as exceptional children and provides a statewide framework for referral, evaluation, eligibility, and gifted instruction through public school systems.

Research scope: This record confirms the statewide requirement or framework, not a locally named program. Applicability can differ for charter or special-purpose agencies; confirm the district's current services.

How services work: Local school systems implement gifted instruction using Alabama's gifted standards and student outcomes. Grade configuration, setting, and service frequency are determined locally and should be confirmed with the district.

How students are identified: Alabama publishes statewide referral-to-eligibility guidance and forms. A local school system evaluates referred students using the state framework and multiple forms of evidence before determining eligibility.

Gifted Services

Eufaula City provides direct gifted instruction in elementary and sixth grade, followed by enriched, honors, and advanced pathways in secondary school.

How services work: Grades 3–5 receive direct services at Eufaula Elementary, grade 6 at Admiral Moorer Middle, and grades 7–12 use enriched, honors, or advanced classes; all schools have gifted services.

How students are identified: The district uses public notice, equity safeguards, universal second-grade Child Find, and standard referrals from educators or families; parents are notified of referrals.
