I could not find enough information about the LCPS gifted program on the website. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with the answer if they know about it.

So far I understood:
1. Students will take the CogAT test in 2nd grade, and their gifted assessment results will be available in 3rd grade.
2. Parents can complete the gifted evaluation form in 4th and 5th grades if their child was not accepted. Evaluations will be based on the student’s portfolio and MAP testing results.

Here are my questions:
1. Once a child is selected for the gifted program in 3rd grade, will they remain in the program throughout middle and high school?
2. How often is the CogAT exam administered?
3. What is in the portfolio test/exam in the reevaluation process?

Thank You
