Gifted and Talented

A gifted and talented student is a child or youth who performs at or shows the potential for performing at a remarkably high level of accomplishment when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment and who (1) exhibits high-performance capability in an intellectual, creative, or artistic area; (2) possesses an unusual capacity for leadership; or (3) excels in a specific academic field. (Texas Education Code § 29.121)

Gifted and talented students require educational experiences beyond those normally provided by the regular school program. Students shall be identified using multiple criteria as specified by the Pilot Point Independent School District. The district recognizes that students identified as gifted and talented come from all races, socioeconomic groups, geographical locales, and environments.
