Student Eligibility

The screening process usually begins with teacher referrals at the end of the school year for the following year. Parents may also refer their child for screening.

Guided by the Radford Complex Gifted and Talented Agreements, the school’s screening committee meets to review a multitude of both quantitative and qualitative data, recommend the selection of students to participate in the Enrichment Program, and to identify students who may be academically gifted.

Data is gathered from the following sources:

• Cognitive Abilities Test
• Standardized achievement tests
• Smarter Balanced Assessment
• Renzulli Scale for Rating Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students
• Teacher Recommendation
• Parent Recommendation
• Student Work Product
