Fall Testing Dates – Automatic Referral
*September 17-28
Spring Testing Dates – CISS (Schoolwide Screening)
*February 19 – March 4
All students are screened in January every school year using the CISS instrument. This identifies students with superior abilities in at least 5 or more of the following area: motivation, interests, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, memory, inquiry, insight, reasoning, creativity, and humor. However, students must meet further Fulton county and state of Georgia requirements in order to be tested. Students who meet either the automatic screening or the classroom screening criteria (CISS) and have supporting data gathered from test history, products, and/or advanced content levels are then referred for gifted testing.
