Cleveland County Schools
Academically Gifted Program
Cleveland County supports advanced learners from every cultural and economic background through differentiated curriculum and collaboration among schools, families, and the community.
How services work: Grades 1–2 may receive higher-order enrichment and nurturing; identified students receive classroom differentiation, specialist-led resource pull-outs, content extension, and increasingly advanced secondary courses and programs.
How students are identified: Grades 1–2 enrichment uses local assessments and teacher recommendation without formal AIG identification. Formal consideration begins in grade 3 under the district plan using multiple indicators of advanced performance and potential.
