Colbert County School District
Official local source reviewed. This page separates confirmed evidence from details families still need to verify directly with the district.
What the evidence confirms
Program for Academic & Creative Enrichment (P.A.C.E.)
Colbert County's P.A.C.E. program serves students demonstrating high academic or creative potential who need support beyond the regular program.
How services work: The district handbook confirms P.A.C.E. as its gifted program but does not publish a uniform grade span or weekly service schedule.
How students are identified: Anyone knowledgeable about a student may refer, all second graders are observed, and aptitude, characteristics, and performance determine matrix eligibility; referrals go through the school counselor or Special Education Department.
