Gifted testing in Duval County Public Schools

A parent, the student or a teacher can nominate a child for gifted screening, and a review of achievement data can also start it. Parents ask in writing to the principal's designee. Students who reach the required score on the screener get a consent form, and once it is signed the school psychologist gives an individual IQ test. Elementary gifted services are a pull-out enrichment class or cluster-grouped content classes.
