What the evidence confirms
Lex2 LAUNCH
Lexington School District Two's districtwide LAUNCH continuum develops early reasoning, accelerates elementary and middle-school core learning, and prepares students for advanced high-school and college-credit work.
How services work: K–2 students receive weekly thinking and reasoning challenges; grades 3–5 take accelerated reading and mathematics; grades 6–8 take advanced core classes and can earn high-school credit; grades 9–12 offer Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, and certification pathways.
How students are identified: LAUNCH serves state-identified gifted students and other academically advanced learners. South Carolina identifies academic giftedness through qualifying evidence in two of three dimensions, with universal CogAT and Iowa screening in grade 2 and later review opportunities.

State context
South Carolina gifted and talented requirements

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.
