Accelerated Testing

Parents in LISD are able to request that their child receive acceleration testing to advance an entire grade level or to advance in a particular core subject. This testing is conducted for free during the summer by the district.

If your child is a candidate for testing or if you have questions about accelerated testing, please contact the counselor to set up a conference.  Mrs. Mennsfield's direct office line is 972-350-5734 or you may email her at mennsfielde@lisd.net.

Indicators that your child may be a good candidate for acceleration testing listed below.

When compared to other same age academically advanced students, your child:

• Possesses exceptional academic ability

• Possesses knowledge that far exceeds grade level expectations so that placement with academically advanced students at the same grade level is appropriate

•      Demonstrates a strong desire to be accelerated

•     Appears to be more mature than peers

•      Frequently seeks a challenge

•     Initiates learning by pursuing knowledge on his/her own

•      Consistently scores high on test or assignments with very little effort
