What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented / GATAS
Greenwood School District 50 delivers subject-specific gifted instruction through special classes and provides both academic and artistic identification pathways.
How services work: Gifted services use a special-class model in English language arts and/or mathematics according to each learner's identification area. Curriculum combines acceleration and enrichment, complex concepts, research, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, and independent learning.
How students are identified: All second-graders take CogAT and Iowa assessments, grades 2–8 receive MAP screening, and referred students can receive additional assessment. Eligibility follows South Carolina's three dimensions or the automatic 96th-percentile composite aptitude route; artistic placement includes recommendation, audition, and screening.
