Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) identified students are clustered into each 4th and 5th grade classroom.  Children have been identified through a variety of testing and assessment procedures, including two cognitive abilities tests, standardized test scores, and input from the child’s parents and teachers. All teachers have received specialized instruction in the methods of teaching GATE students and in differentiating the curricula in terms of depth and complexity.

A committee of teachers and parents meet periodically with the District GATE Advisory Committee to discuss the school’s GATE program.
