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.

Fairfield County School District

Gifted and Talented

Fairfield County School District provides academic programming beyond the general curriculum for state-identified gifted students and publishes family referral and identification resources.

How services work: The district offers gifted services in grades 3–12 and supplements them with magnet, math and science, AVID, and STEM opportunities. Its public gifted page provides program, handbook, and family resources but does not expose a full grade-by-grade delivery chart in page text.

How students are identified: Families can use the district referral form, and placement follows South Carolina's universal second-grade screening plus aptitude, achievement, and performance dimensions. The district publishes separate eligibility and identification guidance for families.
