Summer GT Testing at Bush Elementary

The referral window for Summer GT testing will be from April 1-29. If you would like to nominate your student for Summer GT testing, please read below:


  • Summer GT Testing will take place at Bush Elementary on Tuesday, May 31- Thursday June 2 from 8:00am-11:00am.
  • All students will be tested in both Iowa and CogAT. Students may not take partial tests or skip around.
  • Students must be present all three days of testing.
  • If a student took any GT test this school year (2nd Grade CogAT and or Spring testing), he/she may not participate in this round of testing. It is the same test and will invalidate the norms.


If you are interested in having your child tested this summer, please email Brooke McCoy at bmccoy@conroeisd.net
