GT Testing
The Gifted & Talented Program is designed for students who demonstrate significantly above-average achievement or potential in the areas of general intellectual ability, specific subject matter aptitude, and creative/productive thinking skills. Clear Creek ISD screens for qualified Gifted and Talented students using a variety of sources including performance on qualitative and quantitative screening instruments, teacher recommendations, authentic assessments, classroom performance, and selection procedures.
Parents may refer students for testing. The deadline for students in grades 1 – 12 is October 1st. Please note that all second graders will participate in a grade level wide administration of a cognitive abilities test – do not refer your second grader for testing! The deadline for accepting referrals for students in kindergarten is December 1st. Please note that all kinder students will participate in a GT screener during the fall semester.
If you are interested in having your child tested this year, please email the Advanced Academics Specialists for North Pointe, Jean Neyland, at jneyland@ccisd.net .
