Gifted testing 2017 updates. Parents are already thinking about the next year’s school choices because many private schools start registration in January, 2017. In addition, children entering gifted kindergarten need an IQ test between the months of January and May. You may have considered having your child’s IQ tested to determine if they qualify for the public school gifted program. Other school that require an IQ test are the Weiss School and the Greene School.  Many parents have their child’s IQ tested to see what options are available for the coming school year.

The Palm Beach School District has approximately 9,000 students in gifted programs. Palm Beach is one of the few Florida school districts offering kindergarten gifted programs. The most common way for a student to qualify for the public school gifted program is to have an IQ score that is 130 or above on an individually administered test. There are different IQ tests for preschool and school age children.
