 LEGEND SPRINGS GIFTED TESTING INFORMATION:

Students currently enrolled in a Deer Valley school have the opportunity to be tested once a year for gifted identification. Testing is offered three times a year (Fall, Winter, and Spring).   DVUSD uses the CogAT test.  The CogAt Test (Cognitive Abilities Test) is a reasoning and problem-solving test used to qualify kindergarten-12th-grade students for gifted programs.  The test has three areas (verbal, quantitative, and spatial thinking).  Students who score the 99th-97th percentile on the Cognitive Abilities Test (Or another approved test) will be placed in the appropriate program. Students scoring at the 96th-94th percentile in verbal or quantitative will be placed in our Talent Pool on a provisional basis with quarterly check-ins.
