Rockdale County serves about 15,601 students across 18 schools in Rockdale County. Like most U.S. districts, it identifies students for its gifted & talented program largely through a cognitive ability test. The specific test varies and can change year to year — the most common are the CogAT, NNAT, and OLSAT. Below is how identification typically works and how to prepare.

Which test does Rockdale use?

Rockdale County's own pages don't name the test — but among the 4 Georgia districts whose gifted pages we've read and verified, 2 name the MAP Growth and 2 the CogAT. Start there, and confirm the exact test with the district's gifted office.

MAP Growth

Adaptive achievement in reading & maths.

CogAT

Verbal, quantitative & nonverbal reasoning.

NNAT

Nonverbal pattern & figure reasoning — no language.

  3. Question 3 · Paper Folding

    This paper was folded in half — the bottom folds onto the top along the dashed line. Then holes were punched where you see the dots. What does the paper look like when fully unfolded?

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 Rockdale County 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

Testing window

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.
