Shoreline screens all kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 5th graders; 1st graders take the CogAT Screener in class in the fall or early winter. Students in grades 2, 4 and 6+ can be referred in the fall. Students who meet the screening threshold take further tests (CogAT and/or Iowa) in January-February. There are no cut scores, but identified students generally score at or above the 97th percentile on both aptitude and achievement.
