Texas education officials explore new magnet school for gifted students

Texas education officials explore new magnet school for gifted students School officials from the Midland Independent School District in Texas may turn the Carver Center - home to a program for gifted students between grades four and six - into a magnet school for gifted and talented students in grades two through six, according to the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

Under the proposal, students who are identified for the Gifted Education Midland program would attend Carver five days per week and have their accelerated instruction intertwined with their regular classroom curriculum. Currently, learners have been bused to the institution twice per week to take part in the course of study.

"We have served gifted kids this way for 30 years," Ryder Warren, superintendent at the school, said speaking last week to the Midland County Republican Women's club. "There are a lot of people we may need to reorganize."

Officials told the news source that they anticipate the students who are scoring very high on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills will be just passing the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) if they were to stay in the current three-day per week classroom instruction.

Parents who believe their child could be gifted may wish to have them take an IQ test. These can help measure a child's level of intelligence, which can then help them gain access to better school programs that challenge them.
