By state law, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction requires that academically gifted services be provided to qualified students. Contact the counselor at your child's school to refer your child for screening.
Testing is provided by the school system periodically throughout the school year.
Parents may also seek outside, independent testing from a licensed psychologist and submit the results of the testing to the child's school counselor for review by the AG Placement Team. The school must be notified before private testing is done. The process is the same as in Question 2. Parents may submit the results of outside testing to the child's school for review. Outside testing is considered to be any tests conducted for their child at a previously-attended school or by a private, licensed psychologist.
