District GT Referral and Testing Information
The GT testing referral window for students in grades 1-4 opens Monday, August 26, and will close at 8:00 am on Friday, September 13. . To refer your JES student in grades 1-4 for the Carroll ISD Gifted and Talented Program, you must fill out the online referral form. Once you reach the confirmation screen on the form linked above, you are finished! Please note that absolutely NO referrals will be accepted after the 8:00 am deadline on September 13. Kindergarten testing will be later in the year.
What is Quest?
The gifted and talented program in CISD is called Quest at the elementary level. It is an interdisciplinary program where students are encouraged to make connections and view the world in a more global manner.
When will testing take place?
Students in grades 1-3 will test in small groups during school hours in October. All 4th grade students will complete testing in their homeroom classes. Elementary students must meet the Phase I abilities test criteria in order to move forward to the Phase II portion of the screening process. Phase II involves an achievement test in math and reading.
