How qualifying scores work
Most gifted programs use a percentile cutoff — often around the 95th–98th percentile, sometimes against national norms and sometimes against local (district) norms. The exact cutoff for Montrose County School District Re-1j can change yearly and may differ by grade or program, so confirm the current threshold with the district. We never publish a cutoff we can't verify.
Testing window & official info
Gifted screening is usually scheduled in the fall (around September–October) for the coming school year, though some districts also test in spring. Windows vary — confirm the exact dates with your district.
The real test, dates, and cutoff live on the district's own page.
