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 more information on GT testing on their campus websites. List of Campus GT Teachers and Websites
Secondary students (grades 6-12) may be referred for testing. There will be a fall and spring testing window and a spring testing window for students referred for GT services. GT referral information for secondary students is posted below.
