The State of Florida defines a gifted student as “one who has superior intellectual development and is capable of high performance.” Schools have an obligation to identify and provide services for gifted students. A student may be referred for screening for gifted by a parent/guardian, a teacher or other staff member, the student themselves or any other individual with knowledge of the student.

Eligibility Criteria Definition
Students are eligible for the Gifted Education Program through Plan A if they meet the following criteria:

• A need for the program as demonstrated by evidence of a majority of characteristics of gifted students as scored on a District Checklist; and
• A score of 130 or higher on an individually administered Intelligence Quotient
