Gifted & Talented / BEACH
Georgetown County School District serves gifted learners through school-based BEACH instruction and enrichment intended to match their advanced academic and artistic needs.

How students are identified: Placement follows South Carolina's universal second-grade CogAT and Iowa testing, later referral, and the statewide aptitude, achievement, and performance dimensions. The district's gifted page directs families to current qualification and service guidance.

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.
