Gifted Testing Information

Each year, the Nordonia Hills District follows the State of Ohio guidelines for testing and identifying potentially gifted students. Our 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 6^th grade students will be taking the InView Ability Test and the Terra Nova Reading and Math Achievement Test the week of October 8^th. These scores will assist us in placing students in the appropriate gifted education classes.

At the beginning of November, we will be administering the InView Ability and Terra Nova Achievement Tests  to students referred by teachers or parents. Students for whom this testing may be appropriate:

1.    Students who are new to our district and do not have current (given in the past 24 months) test scores from their previous school, but who do have documented superior academic    performance. Refer these students for the Superior Cognitive Ability Test.

2.    Students in grades 5 or 7 who have previous test scores (given in the past 24 months) that were *close to State and district criteria for gifted identification and/or gifted services.

(*Ability or IQ score of 125 – 130) Refer these students for the Superior Cognitive Ability.

3.    Students in grade 3 may be referred for Specific Academic Testing in Reading only.

4.    Students in grades 5 and 7 may be referred for Specific  Academic Testing in Reading or Math.             

If you would like to refer your child, please contact Sharon Pasternak, Pupil Services Department at 330-908-6224 by October 15^th.
