[quote=Anonymous]I would suggest touching base with the AART teacher at your school. 
Basically there are 4 levels.  Level III means a kid is getting pulled out weekly.  Level IV means they are being taught at an advanced level on all 4 subjects.  Much of it is project based learning.  Level IV may be at your base school or you may elect to go to the "center school" for your region. 
Testing starts in first grade with an NNAT test. 
In second grade, the kids take the COGAT test.  
The most important piece of the puzzle are ratings from the second grade teacher. 
There is a parent referral.  Some will say you don't need to refer and the school will identify.  I would tell any parent interested that they should refer.  
Hold onto examples of times your child truly showed exemplary thinking or creativity or curiosity. The parent referral asks for examples. 
If your child gets into Level IV, they are in through 8th grade.

Some people on this page are very snarky and competitive. Weed through the snark and you will find parents just trying to help one another. [/quote]
