Gifted and Talented

 

Crane Schools proudly maintains an inclusive gifted education program where the focus is more than just acceleration in a subject area and the major focus is on the acquisition of complex, abstract ideas that apply to a wide variety of disciplines and situations. We proudly share our gifted identification process with stakeholders to ensure fairness and equity in the identification of students. 

 

• Gifted education is the appropriate academic course offerings during the regular school day and is commensurate with the academic abilities and potential of a gifted student
• At Crane, a gifted student is a child who is of lawful school age, who due to superior intellect or advanced learning ability, or both, does not progress or develop with regular classroom instruction and who needs differentiated instruction to achieve at levels commensurate with intellect and ability.
• This child scores at 97% percentile on the CogAT ability test in at least one area, verbal, quantitative or non-verbal.
