STRETCH Student Identification

STRETCH is a state-assisted program and therefore must comply with state guidelines. Students are assessed in the following categories to determine possible eligibility for gifted services:

Intellectual Ability

Intellectual ability is measured using a Department of Elementary and Secondary Education approved scale of intelligence. A psychological examiner administers the test. The typical score for students who qualify is in the 95th percentile.

Academic Ability

Academic ability is measured using a nationally norm-referenced test with a score in the 95th percentile (or higher) in the reading or math subtests.
