How Is A Child Identified?
Students can be identified using multiple tests. The ones that are more than likely used to test at Oak Grove are the Woodcock Johnson, OLSAT, and ITBS. Second graders will receive COGat testing which is considered a "clean sweep" to identify gifted students. If students were not identified in lower grades and they score well on COGat, they will then be tested by our AIG facilitator using Woodcock Johnson or OLSAT. Based on those scores your child may receive AIG services. Students can also be nominated for AIG testing by way of parent, teacher or peer recommendation.
Ways Your Child Can Be Identified
Intellectually Gifted - ability score of 97% and above on an aptitude assessment (OLSAT)
Academically Gifted - ability score of 90 % or higher on achievement and performance
(Woodcock Johnson or the ITBS)
Academically and Intellectually Gifted - academic and intellectual (combination of IG and AG scores)
