If your Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st grade, or 2nd grade student (born 2010 - 2013) took the Gifted & Talented test back in January, congratulations - the wait is over!!! You've probably already been notified of his or her results via mail and e-mail. If not, log in here to check!
If your child scored a 90 or above, you may apply to G&T District Programs, and if they scored a 97 or above, you can even apply to citywide programs! Applications are due online (click HERE) by April 16, so time is of the essence. We highly recommended doing your research, going on school tours, and asking around to see how other families enrolled in the programs like it. Get all the information and links to individual school profiles in our G&T 411 post here, and keep reading for more information about G&T at P.S. 200 & 204!
