What the evidence confirms
Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG)
Wayne County identifies and supports gifted students through rigorous academic and intellectual opportunities intended to develop their maximum potential.
How services work: School-site services are matched through annual Differentiated Education Plans and include differentiated instruction, enrichment, advanced course placement, acceleration, and specialized middle- and high-school pathways.
How students are identified: School talent pools use local ability, achievement, universal-screening, classroom, portfolio, and nomination evidence, including the top local performers at each school. The district publishes parent screening requests, identification timelines, and transfer guidance.
