Universal Screening: In Adams 12 Five Star Schools, 2nd and 6th graders who are not already identified as GT participate in the Universal Screening process for potential gifted and talented identification. Find more detailed information regarding Universal Screening in the Five Star District.

Important dates for the Universal Screening process at our school: We will be testing on March 4, 2026.

Because identification at the high school level is so rare, we do not do universal screening here. Rather, identification of GT students is handled on a case-by-case basis. Please see the “recommendations” section of this document. 

Parent/Staff/Student GT Recommendation: All students can participate in the GT identification process by submitting a complete body of evidence. Find more detailed information regarding the GT recommendation process in the Five Star District.

If you are interested in having your child be considered for the GT identification process, you need to contact your GT Coordinator for school-specific information.
