How students are considered
Published processA nomination form goes to the gifted education teacher. A team reviews existing information and decides whether formal evaluation is warranted; a credentialed evaluator then tests, and an eligibility team applies Georgia criteria. Students qualify through the psychometric route or by meeting criteria in three of four areas: mental ability, achievement, creativity, and motivation. Qualifying evidence must be current within two years and cannot be reused across categories.
What service can look like
Published modelGilmer describes a comprehensive and sequential K-12 continuum intended to meet gifted learners' demonstrated academic and intellectual needs across core academics, the arts, and career-technical education. Families should use the current manual and school gifted teacher to identify the delivery model and schedule assigned to a specific student.
Your starting checklist
Turn the published process into clear next steps.
Confirm current instructions with the district before submitting. Bloomfield does not predict placement or reproduce protected assessments.
01Download the current 2026-27 English or Spanish gifted manual and request a nomination form from the school gifted teacher.
02Identify the suspected strength and submit current ability, achievement, creativity, motivation, work, performance, or observation evidence.
03Ask when the nomination-review team will decide whether formal evaluation is warranted and which evidence is still needed.
04Before testing, confirm whether the team is evaluating the psychometric route or the three-of-four multiple-criteria route and return any consent promptly.
05After the eligibility decision, request the written K-12 service model, subject areas, schedule, progress measures, and continuation requirements for the student.
