Current Leander ISD GT students do NOT need to be retested. Once identified students remain identified as gifted unless furloughed or exited from services.
New to district students previously identified as Gifted & Talented in the prior district will have records reviewed upon enrollment. The campus will request records from the prior district and records will be reviewed to determine placement for the student or determine if further testing is needed. Parents will be notified of results from the records review.
Elementary students (entering grades K–5) may be referred for testing. Elementary GT teachers have information on GT referrals and testing windows on their campus websites. List of Campus and QUEST Website Links. Reach out to the campus QUEST teacher for information about testing.
