GATE Program
GATE Program
Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) is an organization for furthering the education of particularly gifted students.
The program goal of GATE is to provide high quality differentiated learning opportunities that meet the gifted and talented students' particular abilities and talents. In elementary school, students who are identified as GATE are clustered in together in classes. Enrichment activities supplement the curriculum and encourage creative thinking and multi-modalities.
Students are eligible for the GATE program at the end of third grade and may be identified by their performance on the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT). Students must score at least at the 90th percentile on the test.
GATE programs are operated in approximately 800 districts located in all 58 counties. There are over 480,000 public school students that have been identified as gifted and talented in the state.
