• Placement:

    Students who score at the 97th percentile on the Cognitive Abilities Test (or another approved test) will be placed in the appropriate program. The test has three areas (verbal, quantitative, and spatial thinking). Students scoring at the 94th percentile in verbal or quantitative will be placed on a provisional basis.

    Testing:

    Students currently enrolled in a Deer Valley school have the opportunity to be tested for gifted identification at their home school various times a year.  Information can be found on the Deer Valley Gifted Services website at the link below.  If a teacher recommends your child for testing, they will email you so you can register and give permission.  No child will be tested without parents' permission.
     
    We will be offering universal screening for all 2nd grade students for placement the following year.
