Gifted Identification & Placement

Gifted Identification

Students are assessed in three areas (Verbal, Quantitative, and Nonverbal) using the CogAT or NGAT assessment. Greenbrier offers gifted services for students who score at or above 89% in one or more areas. Placement testing is offered three times a year based on teacher and parent recommendation. Students may be tested once per year. You can sign your child up here: https://www.dvusd.org/giftedtesting.
