What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented Education Services
Charles County provides gifted and enrichment classes supported by school learning resource teachers, followed by honors, AP, and other advanced secondary opportunities.
How services work: Learning resource teachers in elementary and middle schools coordinate gifted screening and work directly with students in gifted, enrichment, and honors courses; advanced high-school coursework extends the continuum.
How students are identified: Students in grades 2–5 may enter screening through CogAT candidate data or family and teacher nomination. A school committee reviews academic, performance, and family-observation evidence, monitors progress, and notifies families of placement decisions.
