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.

How students are identified: Teachers, families, counselors, administrators, and other knowledgeable adults may refer, and the district also uses universal screening. Multiple factors include eligibility testing, academic performance, student strengths, and teacher observation.
