The gifted program provides screening, identification, and programs for exceptional children who demonstrate abilities that give evidence of high performance in academic and intellectual aptitude.

The level and type of gifted services are determined at the IEP in accordance with the student’s needs and evaluation results.
Gifted services emphasize: enrichment, acceleration, higher level thinking skills, multi-disciplinary content, abstract thinking skills, and a higher degree of complexity than regular classroom curriculum.

Characteristics of Gifted Children commonly include high rates of success in subjects of interest, having a good memory, comprehending well, and acquiring knowledge quickly. Gifted children are characteristically observant, inquisitive, think abstractly, and have a large vocabulary compared to their peers. They typically learn rapidly and independently. Gifted children usually like structure, show good judgement, and are responsible. They are commonly articulate and expressive.
