State research baseline

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.

McCormick County School District

Academic and Artistic Gifted and Talented / Magnet School of the Arts

McCormick County Schools combines state gifted identification with an arts magnet pathway in art, band, and theatre for academically or artistically advanced students.

How services work: The Magnet School of the Arts expands personalized arts instruction for applicants currently in grades 7–11. Academic gifted services operate under the state framework, and district testing pages confirm CogAT and Iowa identification assessments.

How students are identified: Magnet applicants must meet at least two of four criteria: gifted identification, qualifying state results, a 3.5 GPA, or an educator recommendation with academic contract. Academic gifted identification uses the state-approved CogAT and Iowa sequence.
