Applications

Applications will be accepted for students currently in grades K-7th during the School for the Highly Gifted application window.  Kindergarten students must be at least five years old to apply.

Who are the Highly Gifted? Parent Presentation

Students must meet specific criteria for placement in the Grand Prairie School for the Highly Gifted (SHG).  Admission to SHG is a three-tiered process that involves assessments:

  • Pre-Screening (2 sub-scores of 130 on a comparable cognitive exam) 
  • Final Screening scores (2 sub-scores of 135 on IQ test)
  • Achievement scores of 80 or above in reading and math

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BOTH IN-DISTRICT AND OUT-OF-DISTRICT APPLICANTS

While outside test scores may be used to meet pre-screening benchmarks, only testing conducted in Grand Prairie ISD by a licensed district diagnostician or psychologist will be accepted for final placement.
