What the evidence confirms
Gifted Services
Homewood City provides services beyond the regular program for students demonstrating or showing potential for advanced academic or creative performance.
How services work: Gifted support is integrated with a K–12 multi-tiered system using universal academic screening, classroom differentiation, collaborative progress review, and more targeted support when needed. The page does not publish a gifted-only grade schedule.
How students are identified: Teachers, staff, families, peers, students, or others may refer, and all second graders are observed. A state matrix combines aptitude, gifted characteristics, and performance evidence; families may contact the school counselor.
