Who and which grades

Published coverageK-12

02

How students are considered

Published processA parent, teacher, administrator, counselor, peer, student or another knowledgeable person may refer a student in writing to the campus G/T contact. Screening uses five qualitative and quantitative criteria, including parent checklists, nonverbal and intelligence measures, creative-thinking tests and standardized achievement tests. Students who advance complete two rounds, and a district identification committee makes placement recommendations from the ranked matrix.

03

What service can look like

Published modelSEARCH serves identified K-4 students through weekly pull-out instruction: kindergarten receives about 30-45 minutes, Grades 1-3 about 90 minutes and Grade 4 about 120 minutes. Work includes Texas Performance Standards Projects and independent investigation. Grades 5-8 receive subject-area advanced instruction and a vertically accelerated mathematics pathway; Grades 9-12 use Honors, AP and Dual Credit courses.

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.

01Contact the campus G/T contact and request the current parent referral form plus exact screening dates; submit the referral in writing and retain a dated copy.
02Complete the parent checklist with specific examples of advanced verbal or nonverbal reasoning, creativity, rapid learning and subject strengths.
03Ask which five criteria apply to the child's grade, which measures are used in Round 1 and Round 2, and how points appear on the selection matrix.
04Watch for the notice between testing rounds and the final written decision; request the underlying percentile, rating and matrix results.
05If appealing, submit the request in writing and identify the specific score, irregularity or new evidence the committee should review.
06For placement, document weekly SEARCH minutes in K-4 or the student's exact subject-area, accelerated-mathematics, Honors, AP or Dual Credit path in Grades 5-12.
Add reminders and a personalized plan
