In high school, students are provided many different options for an enriched and accelerated curriculum. Please see the Arizona Department of Education's Gifted Education website for more information.
In addition, our district has identified the need for The Payne Academy, which is a specialized school for gifted students and is located on the McClintock High School campus.Īrizona Definition of Gifted and TalentedĪrizona Revised Statute §15-779 defines a gifted child as "any child of lawful school age who displays superior intellect, advanced learning ability or both and who needs special instruction and services to reach appropriate levels of achievement." We encourage you to contact them with any questions you may have regarding the gifted program at their respective sites. Each of these coordinators is an established and successful teacher who understands the needs of the gifted student.
While most districts appoint one individual to oversee the needs of 'exceptional' students, we provide resources for each comprehensive site to offer a Gifted Coordinator with a plethora of services. With a remarkable partnership with Arizona State University, we are confident that through the outstanding programs at our schools and our community opportunities, we can offer the highest quality education. Like our students, each of our high schools has its own personality and style in its approach to understanding the needs of our gifted students. Our district appreciates that students who have been identified as gifted (97th percentile and above) require specialized instruction, curriculum, and services.
