Gifted

The gifted program in Emanuel County serves students in all grades.  Students may be referred for screening by administrators, teachers, and parents.  

Students may also be automatically referred if they score at the ninety percentile or above in reading and/or math on a standardized achievement test.  Once students are referred, they will be evaluated in four areas:  Mental Abilities, Achievement, Creativity, and Motivation.  To be eligible for the gifted program, the student must qualify in three of the four areas.  Eligibility is based on guidelines established by the State Board of Education.

The Criteria for Continuation of Gifted Services will be presented to students receiving services in gifted education and their parents at the beginning of each school year.
