Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.

01

Who and which grades

Published coverageK-2 push-in enrichment; Grades 3-6 cluster and pull-out services

02

How students are considered

Published processThe district's service continuum states that formal placement evaluations occur in Grades 3 and 5 and that the number served varies with established criteria. Its current parent page links an identification chart and policy, but the chart is not reliably accessible in public text; families should request the current measures, thresholds, decision rubric, and score report directly from the school.

03

What service can look like

Published modelK-2 classroom teachers differentiate instruction while the enrichment teacher pushes in with multilevel activities. In Grades 3-6, identified students may learn in flexible clusters and receive pull-out projects, advanced visual-art opportunities, and Warren County consortium activities such as debate, inventions, chess, and Battle of the Books.
