http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/301959/Possible-Gifted-and-Talented-Student My son is in the 1st grade and is advanced in his academics. He has high intellectual and reading skills and many people feel he is a gifted and talented student. However, when I had him assessed for the highly gifted and talented program through Denver Public Schools (DPS), he scores significantly low.
