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

Newberry County School District

Gifted and Talented

The School District of Newberry County operates gifted and talented programming overseen by its Office of Instruction, with dedicated gifted teaching documented at elementary schools.

How services work: District pages confirm gifted-program administration and dedicated elementary gifted teachers, including academic and performing-arts experiences. A current districtwide grade-by-grade service matrix was not found, so families should verify secondary options with the Office of Instruction.

How students are identified: Placement follows South Carolina's universal second-grade screening and statewide aptitude, achievement, and performance criteria. Families should contact the district program lead for current referral dates and local review procedures.
