How to Qualify

Eligibility may be established in one of two ways:

Option A: A student must meet eligibility requirements in both Mental Abilities and Achievement.

• Mental Ability: 99th percentile (K-2) or 96th percentile (3-12) on a standardized test of mental ability - Composite Score only

• Achievement: 90th percentile

Option B: A student must meet eligibility requirements in three of the four following areas:

• Mental Ability: 96th percentile

• Achievement: 90th percentile

• Creativity: 90th percentile

• Motivation: 90th percentile

TRANSFER STUDENTS

• In-State Transfers: Any student who meets the eligibility criteria for gifted education services in Georgia is considered eligible to receive gifted education services in Brooks County Schools upon verification of records.

• Out-of-State Transfers: There is no mandated reciprocity between states for gifted eligibility. Outside data will be considered when determining eligibility but does not automatically supplant school-generated data.
