GT TESTING @ STEVENS

GT TESTING @ STEVENS

G/T testing is available to all enrolled HISD students, from Pre-K-4 through 12th grade, if they are referred for evaluation by a teacher, a parent, the student, or a district-generated roster. Parents must provide consent for Gifted and Talented evaluations when someone other than themselves makes the referral. 

Requests will also be accepted for students planning to enroll in Kindergarten at HISD for the 2027-2028 school year who currently live in a residence zoned to an HISD campus. 

In alignment with guidance from the Texas Education Agency and the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students, HISD will accept G/T testing requests for:

  • Students enrolled in Houston ISD in grades K–12
  • Students planning to enroll in Kindergarten at an HISD Vanguard campus for the 2027–2028 school year who currently reside in an HISD attendance zone

Families interested in enrolling in Houston ISD can find step-by-step enrollment information on the student enrollment website.

All assessments are administered during pre-established testing timelines by trained HISD staff at the student's enrolled or zoned (Entering Kindergarten only) HISD campus. The G/T testing administered includes the following:

  • Pre-K4/Entering Kindergarten (referral)
  • Kindergarten - Twelfth Grade (referral)
  • HISD Universal 2nd Grade (district)
