Gifted Services Overview
2026-2027
Gifted Services K-12
Gifted services in Prosper are designed to meet the developmental and instructional needs of students.
In elementary grades, students participate in pullout services that encourage exploration of broad themes and subjects.
In secondary grades, students begin specializing in their areas of talent, interest and strength so services are embedded in core content.
All of our GT services provide opportunities for students to extend their thinking and dive deeply into topics, making connections across content area and with the real world. We do not accelerate curriculum or advance grade levels.
Gifted Characteristics and Instructional Needs
It is important to understand the unique characteristics of gifted students and their learning needs. Comparing these traits to those of bright students can offer clarity around both.
This video presentation discusses this comparison as well the K-12 GT services offered in Prosper ISD.
Gifted Referral Process
Prosper ISD accepts referrals for evaluation of students to determine a need for gifted services. Whether your child is a new referral or a transfer (they were receiving gifted services in their previous district), a parent referral is required to begin the evaluation process.
The timeline for testing and evaluation can be found on the Gifted & Talented webpage under Identification and Referral Information.
If your student has been identified for gifted services in Prosper ISD, their GT status will continue. A new referral/evaluation is not needed yearly.
