How students are identified: All second-graders receive CogAT and Iowa screening, with performance tasks used when indicated. In later grades the district reviews referrals, aptitude data, state achievement results, and GPA according to South Carolina requirements; students may be referred annually.

State context
South Carolina gifted and talented requirements
South Carolina requires every district to identify and serve academically and artistically gifted students, with statewide second-grade census testing and common eligibility dimensions.
For families: Academic eligibility generally requires qualifying evidence in two of three dimensions—aptitude, achievement, and performance—or the state's automatic high-composite aptitude route. Local service models and schedules vary by district.
