*<strong>2011</strong>-<strong>2012</strong>*
<strong>Gifted</strong> Education Overview<br />
<strong>Revere</strong> <strong>Local</strong> School District has realigned<br />
district services to follow the State of Ohio<br />
guidelines to identify potentially gifted students.<br />
Ohio law does not mandate services for gifted<br />
students. Each school district must determine<br />
what services will be provided as well as the<br />
criteria that a student must meet in order to<br />
qualify for such services.<br />
Identification of <strong>Gifted</strong> Students<br />
“<strong>Gifted</strong>” means students who perform or<br />
show potential for performing at<br />
remarkably high levels of accomplishment<br />
when compared to others of their age,<br />
experience, or environment.<br />
Superior Cognitive Identification<br />
A child shall be identified as exhibiting “superior<br />
cognitive ability” in grades K - 1 with a score of<br />
128 or above and in grades 2 - 8 with a 129 or<br />
above on the CogAT ability test or a standardized<br />
test of intelligence within the last 24 months.<br />
Specific Academic Identification<br />
A child shall be identified as exhibiting “specific<br />
academic ability” if the child performs at or above<br />
the ninety-fifth percentile on a nationally-normed<br />
achievement test within the last 24 months.<br />
Creative Thinking Ability<br />
A child shall be identified as exhibiting “creative<br />
thinking ability” if the child scored a 115 on an<br />
ability or intelligence test and a sufficient score on<br />
an ODE-approved checklist.<br />
Visual and Performing Arts<br />
A child shall be identified as exhibiting “visual<br />
or performing arts ability” by demonstrating<br />
through a display of work, an audition, or<br />
performance with superior ability and a<br />
sufficient score on an ODE-approved checklist.<br />
