South Carolina gifted and talented requirements

South Carolina requires every district to identify and serve academically and artistically gifted students, with statewide second-grade census testing and common eligibility dimensions.

What this means for families: Academic eligibility generally requires qualifying evidence in two of three dimensions—aptitude, achievement, and performance—or the state's automatic high-composite aptitude route. Local service models and schedules vary by district.

Coverage: Grades 1–12 in every school district

Barnwell County School District

Gifted and Talented

Barnwell County School District administers South Carolina's gifted assessment sequence and provides services for students who qualify under the statewide program framework.

How services work: The district confirms local gifted resources and testing but does not publish a current districtwide grade-by-grade delivery chart in the reviewed page text. Families should request school, subject, and schedule details from the district.

How students are identified: District schools administer the Performance Task Assessment to students who have already met an aptitude or achievement dimension, notify families of qualifying results, and use the state's second-grade CogAT and Iowa screening sequence.
