Georgia gifted education requirements

Georgia requires local systems to adopt state-consistent gifted eligibility rules, obtain family consent, provide approved gifted service models, and evaluate continuing eligibility annually.

What this means for families: Students may enter consideration through automatic screening or referrals from families, educators, peers, themselves, or others. Eligibility considers mental ability, achievement, creativity, and motivation under one of two state pathways.

Dade County School District

Gifted Program

Dade County's gifted program is designed around advanced learners' unique needs and talents and uses comprehensive evidence to guide appropriate local programming.

How services work: The district publishes a local gifted manual governing program implementation. Its overview does not state one grade-by-grade delivery model, so families should consult that manual or the district academics office for placement details.

How students are identified: Local evaluation uses Georgia's multiple-criteria process to build a comprehensive picture of advanced learning needs. Current referral, consent, assessment, and eligibility steps are documented in the district manual.
