Oh well, there was nothing to gain from it. I'm just waiting on Ooohhh, oooohhhh, I just checked our state website and see they have the rubric posted to identify a child as gifted in Visual & Performance Arts! GS10 loves to perform. He was quite good in several dramas at church and in some plays he did at a drama camp. Now I've got to ask the gifted coordinator if there's any advantage to having him identified as gifted in drama. Did I say he's quite good? grin That's not just grandma saying that either!

How does the ODE use the Explore for gifted identification? Since they use 95th percentile for grade level testing, how is it for above level testing? I saw where they accept Explore, but didn't see score requirements for each grade level.
