What the evidence confirms
Gifted Program
Volusia County provides compacted, differentiated instruction with enrichment and acceleration, extending gifted support from elementary full-time settings through secondary advanced pathways.
How services work: Fourteen elementary sites use full-time gifted-peer classes; all middle schools provide gifted services in four core subjects; high-school consultation supports learners across advanced, AP, IB, and other academic settings.
How students are identified: A family or teacher may contact the school counselor. Checklists and academic evidence inform screening; students meeting screening criteria proceed to testing and an Educational Plan team determines service need and placement.
