Learning opportunities have been developed to provide differentiated programming for our gifted and talented students. One of the goals of this program is to enrich the learning experience for students who demonstrate excellent academic performance in reading and mathematics.

The State of Illinois requires that both subjective and objective measures be used in the selection of individuals for gifted and talented programs. Identification for participation in this program is based on scores from teacher identification checklists, mathematics and reading scores on achievement tests, classroom performance throughout the year, and cognitive abilities test results. Selection for the accelerated enrichment program is subject-specific to reading and mathematics. Students are reviewed annually for program participation and/or continuation. Transfer students are evaluated on comparable data.

If you have specific questions, please contact Dr. Linda Schielke, Assistant Superintendent for Learning, at (630) 893-9590.
