Gifted Education

Lee County identifies and nurtures advanced learners through enriched, challenging, developmentally appropriate instruction supporting academic strengths and social-emotional growth.

How services work: Elementary students receive full- or part-time accelerated, enriched, differentiated instruction from gifted-endorsed teachers. Middle and high schools use advanced IB, AICE, AP, honors, and dual-enrollment options plus gifted consultation aligned with EP goals.

How students are identified: Educators, families, and school staff may nominate. District staff review grades, observations, test results, and portfolio evidence before consented psychological evaluation and a family-school eligibility meeting under Florida criteria.
