What the evidence confirms
Academic and Artistic Gifted and Talented
Dillon School District Three provides daily elementary and secondary gifted instruction plus a middle-school visual-arts pathway.
How services work: Grades 3–5 receive a daily 40-minute pull-out focused on gifted mathematics and science; grades 6–8 take daily honors language arts; grades 9–12 receive daily honors classes. Artistically gifted middle-school students receive visual-art instruction during the school day and selected extended activities.
How students are identified: All second-graders receive fall aptitude and achievement screening, and families, educators, administrators, and students may refer. Eligibility requires two of the state's three dimensions or the qualifying high-composite aptitude route; arts candidates complete recommendation, interview, and portfolio or demonstration review.
