Second Grade

All Second-Grade students are initially screened for AIG identification.

-All second-grade students take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) during the spring. The testing office sets the testing window and the testing coordinator sets all testing schedules. 

Second-grade students who score at or above the 85th age percentile rank in the Verbal, Quantitative, or Non-Verbal battery of the CogAT, and/or demonstrate high academic capabilities in the classroom, may be eligible to take the Iowa Assessments

-Students must be referred for the Iowa Assessments, and parents/guardians must give permission to test.
