What the evidence confirms
Gifted Education
A K–12 continuum combines school-based differentiation with Center Based Gifted Academies for eligible elementary and middle school students.
How services work: Cluster grouping and differentiated instruction operate across schools; eligible students in grades 3–8 may attend center-based academies, followed by honors and other advanced secondary pathways.
How students are identified: Students may be referred by families, staff, community members, peers, or themselves. A multi-part evaluation occurs during published annual windows, and students may be evaluated once per school year.
