My child is academically or intellectually gifted. Where can I get him/her tested to skip his/her current grade?

There is a procedure that principals at each school follow when a student is considered for whole grade advancement. Students must first be identified as academically or intellectually gifted. If there is clear demonstration of extreme need for differentiated services and these students perform a minimum of two to three years beyond grade level peers, they may be considered for whole grade advancement. The student may be referred to the School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBC-GE). This process should be initiated at the beginning of the semester and completed during the same semester. If student is recommended for whole grade advancement, placement should occur at the beginning of the next semester.
A student whose needs can be met by going to the next grade level for instruction in Reading/English Language Arts and/or Mathematics is not necessarily a candidate for whole grade advancement.
