Union County, South Carolina

E.M.E.R.G.E. Gifted and Talented

Union County Schools operates the E.M.E.R.G.E. gifted and talented program for students identified through South Carolina's statewide process.

How services work: The district confirms E.M.E.R.G.E. and a gifted-program coordinator but does not publish a current grade-by-grade service chart on the reviewed pages. Families should verify subjects, frequency, and school assignments directly with the district.

How students are identified: All second-graders complete CogAT and Iowa testing for E.M.E.R.G.E. identification. Additional referrals and eligibility decisions follow the state's aptitude, achievement, and performance dimensions.
