What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Sampson County combines universal screening, talent development, specialist support, and advanced secondary opportunities in its 2025–2028 gifted program.
How services work: Elementary students receive daily differentiation and enrichment from trained teachers; middle grades use clustered and accelerated courses, and high school expands into honors, AP, dual enrollment, and other advanced options.
How students are identified: All second-graders take CogAT. School teams apply a multi-criterion matrix to aptitude, achievement, classroom, and other evidence, including additional review pathways for students near published screening thresholds.
