Gifted testing in St. Johns County School District

Any student can be nominated for gifted services; after assessment and evaluation, a team reviews the results against the state criteria. The district's gifted page quotes both state paths: Plan A (IQ two standard deviations above the mean, most gifted characteristics, need for the program) and Plan B for underrepresented students under an approved district plan. In grades K-5, gifted students are placed in a blended class with a gifted-endorsed teacher.
