Who and which grades
Published coverageK-12
How students are considered
Published processParents, teachers, students, counselors and community members may refer. The district gathers ability, achievement and creativity measures plus observations; a trained committee makes a balanced decision across quantitative and qualitative evidence. Existing data may remain valid for two years.
What service can look like
Published modelElementary students receive trained-teacher cluster instruction and pull-out services. Secondary students use Pre-AP and AP courses, with differentiated learning matched to demonstrated strengths.
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.
01Choose the correct 2026-27 window for a new student, kindergartner or student in Grades 1-5 and submit before it closes.
02Retain the referral confirmation and the published assessment and result dates.
03Provide concrete examples of advanced ability, achievement and creativity for the observation evidence.
04Ask which local instruments and rating scales will produce each profile measure.
05Request the complete committee profile and written decision on the published result date.
06After placement, confirm the trained-teacher cluster and pull-out schedule or the student's Pre-AP and AP course plan.
