What the evidence confirms
Gifted Services / Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Onslow County provides differentiated curricula and academic, intellectual, and social-emotional support for gifted and potentially gifted learners across K–12.
How services work: Elementary schools use half-time gifted specialists, classroom collaboration, pull-outs, and talent development; secondary schools add academic blueprints, honors, AP, IB, CTE, virtual learning, enrichment, and counseling support.
How students are identified: Screening, testing, and identification may be requested at any grade, though most identification occurs from grades 3–7. Referrals can come from teachers, families, peers, or students, and school teams match services using individual assessment evidence.
