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.

Clarendon County School District

Academic and Artistic Gifted and Talented

Clarendon County School District provides academic gifted instruction and an artistically gifted pathway in visual art, theatre, dance, and music.

How services work: District school pages document dedicated gifted teachers and project-based academic activities, including design, teamwork, and real-world problem solving. Artistically gifted students receive advanced arts opportunities after district screening.

How students are identified: All second-graders complete CogAT and Iowa screening. Students in grades 3–12 may be referred for artistic screening by administrators, teachers, counselors, parents, or students, followed by portfolio review, audition, and interview.
