What the evidence confirms
Odyssey Gifted and Talented
Spartanburg School District Seven's Odyssey continuum serves state-identified gifted learners and is supported by early thinking-skills development and extensive advanced secondary coursework.
How services work: Odyssey comprises a series of gifted programs across grades 3–12. District Seven also uses Brain Boosters to develop second-grade reasoning and transfer skills before statewide screening, while high-school learners can access a broad Advanced Placement curriculum.
How students are identified: Learners may qualify from the end of grade 2 through grade 11 whenever their performance profile meets South Carolina placement requirements. State screening and referrals feed a multi-step review of aptitude, achievement, and performance, with students reconsidered in later years when appropriate.

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.
