What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented Program
Anderson School District Five combines elementary pull-out services, daily advanced middle-school classes, and honors or college-level secondary pathways.
How services work: Grades 3–5 receive school-based pull-out instruction; grades 6–8 receive daily gifted language arts, mathematics, and science; grades 9–12 continue through honors, Advanced Placement, and other advanced coursework. Artistically gifted learners can access audition-based study.
How students are identified: All second-graders take CogAT and Iowa assessments, and the district continuously reviews other students. Academic eligibility follows South Carolina's reasoning, achievement, and performance dimensions, including its automatic high-composite aptitude route.
