Lee County School District
Official local source reviewed. This page separates confirmed evidence from details families still need to verify directly with the district.
What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented
Lee County School District uses an ongoing review process from second grade through high school and places eligible students into gifted classes the following school year.
How services work: Eligible students begin local gifted classes after family notification. The reviewed district page does not publish a school-by-school subject or schedule matrix, so families should contact the elementary assistant principal or gifted coordinator for current delivery details.
How students are identified: The district reviews all students in grades 2–8 annually using second-grade CogAT and Iowa results, grades 2–5 performance tasks, and grades 3–8 SC READY scores. Eligibility requires qualifying scores in two different state dimensions.

State context

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.
