What if my child was identified as gifted in another state or in a private school?

If you are new to Georgia public schools and your child was identified as gifted by a public school in another state or by a private school (regardless of state):

  • There is no reciprocity between states for gifted education. Your child will need to be reviewed based on the state of Georgia's gifted eligibility criteria.
  • If you have a gifted eligibility form from another state or private school, or testing data from within the last two years, please submit them for review to Christen Gibbons, District Gifted & Talented Coordinator, at cgibbons@csdecatur.net or 125 Electric Ave., Decatur, GA 30030.
  • If your previous eligibility form or testing data is older than two years or does not meet Georgia criteria, your child will need to be reassessed. Please contact Christen Gibbons, District Gifted & Talented Coordinator, at cgibbons@csdecatur.net or 125 Electric Ave., Decatur, GA 30030.
