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.

Horizons Gifted Education

Forsyth County Schools operates Horizons, an enrichment program providing supplementary learning that extends the education of identified gifted students.

How services work: District family resources confirm Horizons and publish a dedicated grading and reporting guide. School materials describe supplementary enrichment, while the exact delivery model and weekly schedule vary by school and should be confirmed locally.

How students are identified: Students must meet Forsyth County and Georgia gifted eligibility guidelines. The district trains gifted-endorsed educators in learner characteristics, identification, instructional design, and program development.
