GATE
Welcome to Gifted/Talented Programs
Gifted and Talented students need differentiated educational programs and services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program in order to realize their ability to contribute to self and society. On this website you will find information for current and prospective families and LAUSD educators. This includes identification categories and procedures, documents and resources, as well as options available to students once identified.
When a student is identified as Gifted in an identification category, they remain enrolled in their school of attendance, and in their classroom. Teachers are responsible for providing appropriate differentiated activities and assignments to challenge each student that meet them at their academic level.
During CHOICES open application windows, parents may apply to specialized magnets that are designated for Gifted Students. Also, some district schools offer a Schools For Advanced Studies program on their campus that accepts identified Gifted students as priority.
Categories for Identification as Gifted:
Intellectual: any grade.
Identified by Intellectual testing by a District Psychologist
