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.

Coverage: K–12 through local school systems

Pike County School District

Gifted Program

Pike County extends its adopted curriculum with greater pace and rigor so gifted learners apply knowledge critically, creatively, and practically while developing intellectual and artistic strengths.

How services work: The district identifies Gifted Students within Teaching and Learning and publishes a current local Gifted Manual. Families should use the manual for school-level delivery models and frequency.

How students are identified: System testing can trigger automatic referral, and educators, counselors, families, or administrators may refer through the school counselor. Eligibility follows Georgia Option A or the four-area Option B process, with fall and spring testing windows.

Grades: K–12
