Raytown C-2 serves about 8,037 students across 20 schools in Jackson County. Like most U.S. districts, it identifies students for its gifted & talented program largely through a cognitive ability test. Its own gifted pages name the CogAT and NNAT and WISC-V. Below is how identification typically works and how to prepare.

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 Raytown C-2 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 Challenge Gifted Program identifies students through a referral and qualification process. The specific tests used for identification are not mentioned.”
