What the official record confirms
Applicable school year: 2026-27. Bloomfield separates official requirements from our preparation guidance.
Published coverageK-12
Published processFamilies may obtain referral forms from the campus during the referral period and from the district website year-round. The profile equally weights normed verbal, mathematical, nonverbal and creative-ability tests plus teacher checklists. A trained campus committee reviews the complete profile, and no single criterion determines placement.
Published modelThe district maintains separate elementary and secondary gifted service designs. Placement is intended to provide advanced depth, complexity, pace and learning experiences matched to identified strengths; families should document the child's actual campus schedule after placement.
Your starting checklist
Confirm current instructions with the district before submitting. Bloomfield does not predict placement or reproduce protected assessments.
