Henderson County School District in Lexington
Official state framework reviewed. This page separates confirmed evidence from details families still need to verify directly with the district.
What the evidence confirms
Intellectually Gifted Services
Tennessee recognizes intellectually gifted eligibility within special education when a student's needs exceed differentiated general education and require specially designed instruction or support services.
How services work: Eligible students may receive individualized services through an IEP; districts may also offer advanced academic programming. The mix of direct, consultative, and general-education supports is determined locally from student need.
How students are identified: School teams use systematic child find, individual screening, and a comprehensive multi-modal evaluation covering cognition, educational performance, and creativity. No single measure alone determines eligibility.

The state framework applies here, but the district’s current local name, referral calendar, identification tools, service locations, and grade-by-grade delivery still need direct district confirmation.
