What the evidence confirms
Gifted and Talented
Rock Hill Schools provides accelerated and enriched gifted curriculum designed around inquiry, flexibility, problem solving, and critical and creative thinking.
How services work: Elementary gifted English language arts and mathematics use district curriculum maps with advanced literature, reasoning, algebraic thinking, Singapore Math, research, and seminar resources. Secondary learners continue through honors, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, and other advanced options.
How students are identified: All second-graders take CogAT and Iowa. Grades 3–5 receive continuing MAP and SC READY screening, newcomers without recent aptitude data may take CogAT, and partially qualified learners may receive performance tasks under South Carolina's three-dimension process.

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.
