Marion County, Florida

Gifted and Talented Program

Marion County supports gifted students' intellectual, emotional, physical, and psychological growth through Educational Plan goals and a continuum of differentiated, accelerated, and enriched services.

How services work: Elementary models include weekly pull-out, gifted clusters, and consultation; middle schools use gifted clusters and endorsed teachers in core subjects; district resources also document high-school models and ongoing EP support.

How students are identified: Students qualify under Florida gifted criteria and receive goals and services through an Educational Plan. EPs are updated every three years in elementary and middle school and at least once in high school, with earlier meetings available on request.
