Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Could use some public school advice on testing?

Hi Mike,
I'm in Florida. I found the FL DOE website very helpful. http://www.fldoe.org/bii/Gifted_Ed/

My suggestion is to find the gifted coordinator for your school district. That person can explain to you what the requirements are. For instance, in our district there is a minimum 130 IQ plus the teacher's evaluation is weighed heavily plus standardized tests (STAN 10) must meet a minimum as well. The IQ score alone doesn't determine eligibility.

You have the right to see all the variables used to make the decision.
