Gifted testing in Hernando County School District
Students qualify under the state rule: an IQ two standard deviations or more above the mean on an individual test, a majority of gifted characteristics and a need for the program. Gifted services for grades K-8 are a full-time program at Quest Academy, on the Challenger K-8 campus. Once identified, students usually keep services through high school without being IQ-tested again.
