What is SAGE?

SAGE is a service for gifted and talented students who are performing at or showing the potential to perform at a remarkably high level in relation to their age, experience, or environment.  Students are pulled out from class with their gifted peers on a weekly basis to practice this higher level thinking.  We engage in critical thinking activities, hands on problem solving,  student-led projects, and more based on student interest and need. 

In order to qualify for SAGE services, students will be evaluated on critical thinking in verbal, quantitative, and non-verbal areas.  Qualitative and quantitative data are considered when determining a child's need for services.  Please visit this link for more information on Gifted and Talented Education in Texas- https://tea.texas.gov/academics/special-student-populations/gifted-and-talented-education.
