What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Richmond County combines early talent development, broad screening pools, formal gifted identification, and differentiated services across all grade levels.
How services work: Individual plans may include classroom differentiation, PETS, enrichment, compacting, flexible grouping, pull-outs, projects, acceleration, advanced courses, dual enrollment, extracurriculars, and social-emotional support.
How students are identified: All second-graders receive a CogAT screener, while K–12 academic data drive continuing screening. Teams also consider aptitude, achievement, local top performers, observations, work samples, portfolios, recommendations, referrals, and college-readiness measures.
