Virginia Gifted and Talented Programs
Virginia has some of the most competitive Gifted and Talented programs in the United States.
Districts such as Fairfax County Public Schools (AAP), Loudoun County Public Schools, and Henrico County Public Schools use rigorous testing and strict criteria to identify gifted students, and competition increases every year.
Understanding Virginia Gifted Program Requirements
Virginia school divisions are required to identify gifted students in grades K–12 and provide appropriate services under the Virginia Board of Education Regulations Governing Educational Services for Gifted Students. However, each district sets its own testing requirements, score ranges, and identification process.
That means families must understand:
Which gifted tests their district uses
How students are evaluated
When screening and referrals occur
Waiting until scores are released is often too late.
