Official local source reviewed. This page separates confirmed evidence from details families still need to verify directly with the district.
What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Union County matches advanced learning services to student needs using multiple indicators of aptitude, achievement, and classroom performance.
How services work: K–3 talent development leads to grades 3–5 pull-outs, small groups, extensions, and differentiated reading or mathematics; later services include advanced classes, compacting, acceleration, honors, AP, IB, dual enrollment, and independent study.
How students are identified: Families, educators, school staff, or students may refer, and the district universally screens in grades 3–7. A comprehensive profile combines aptitude, achievement, classroom performance, and other indicators under board-approved criteria.
