What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Lexington City Schools combines universal screening, school-based committee review, early nurturing, and differentiated education plans for gifted learners.
How services work: Options include daily clusters, weekly pull-outs for intellectually gifted students, flexible grouping, advanced or compacted content, subject or grade acceleration, independent study, honors, AP, dual enrollment, internships, and clubs.
How students are identified: K–2 screening uses literacy and math diagnostics, grade 3 uses universal CogAT, and grades 4–12 use state tests, college-readiness results, referrals, work samples, and teacher evidence. Multiple pathways combine standardized and nontraditional measures.
