Gifted testing in Brevard Public Schools

A teacher or other staff member, a parent or sometimes the child can ask for gifted screening and evaluation, starting with the school guidance office, once the child is school age. Students qualify under the state rule: an IQ two standard deviations above the mean, a majority of gifted characteristics and a need for the program.
