The gifted program at Mountain View High School is designed to provide the gifted student with appropriate opportunities to excel in the classroom. Among the curriculum options available to gifted students are gifted level classes , AP classes, and Gifted Internship classes. Many academic clubs and teams are also options for MVHS gifted students.
Students wishing to test for possible entry into the gifted program at MVHS should see Mr. White in room 1.114. Students must be referred for testing in one of the following ways: teacher or counselor referral, standardized testing results, parent referral, self referral, transfer from a gifted program outside of Georgia or from a private school gifted program. Students transferring from a public school gifted program within Georgia are eligible to enter the program under the reciprocity rule. After the referral committee has reviewed a student’s records and has approved that student for testing, he must obtain a parent signature on a Permission to Test form to begin the testing process. Gifted testing in the areas of mental ability, achievement, creativity, and motivation will determine placement or non-placement.
A gifted student who leaves the program must wait one year before retesting to be readmitted. A student who leaves a public school gifted program within the state of Georgia to enter a private school or a school in another state and remains in that system for one year or more must retest to be readmitted to the gifted program upon return to a public school. For more details about the testing process, contact Mr. White at the number listed below.
