ACCENT Gifted Education Program

There are a variety of state-approved tests for determining giftedness in a school setting.  We at Hillsdale give the Terra Nova and In View tests to all students at the beginning of second and fourth grades.  The Woodcock-Johnson test may be used in certain individual cases.  The GATES test for creativity is also used.

Assessment Instruments

From time to time, it may be in the student's best interest to be accelerated through a course or grade.  After consultation between parents, teachers, administration, and the student, an acceleration plan may be put into place.  A form documenting this plan is found here.
