Students who are referred for evaluation will be evaluated only after written parental consent is obtained. Further data collection or assessment may be needed in the areas of mental ability, achievement, creativity, and/or motivation. To determine eligibility, test scores must be current within two calendar years. The most recent scores will be used. If new scores become available during the evaluation process, those scores will be used (ex: if your student is undergoing gifted evaluation in December, then December STAR scores will be used rather than previous August STAR scores).
