What the evidence confirms
Challenge Gifted Program
Lee County's Challenge program provides special instruction for gifted students throughout the district, extending regular learning through advanced projects, presentations, and enrichment.
How services work: Elementary students use a daily resource pull-out for one class period, with interdisciplinary work in problem solving, critical and creative thinking, advanced research, and communication. Other grade-level models should be confirmed locally.
How students are identified: Educators, administrators, families, peers, students, and other knowledgeable individuals may submit written referrals. Placement requires testing under Georgia criteria, generally conducted in spring, with transfer records considered.
