State research baseline

DCPS advanced and enriched instruction approach

DCPS offers advanced-learning curricula and school-based enrichment but does not centrally screen and label students as gifted. Availability varies by school and grade.

What this means for families: Look for the specific school’s offerings—especially SEM, DARE, Junior Great Books, advanced mathematics, AP, and other advanced coursework—rather than expecting a single gifted designation.
