Here you need to be 130 or above on an IQ test (no achievement test), but there is another option for low-income/minority kids with slightly lower scores. I think the second option is not well known. You have to pass a pretest to take the IQ test.

I do not know of ANY kids who got around these rules, but I do know of some who tested several times.

Despite the fairly high bar, I think about 10-15% of the district is IDed. But there are demographic reasons for that.
