Setting

Mukilteo School District serves about 15,006 students across 25 schools in Snohomish 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 Mukilteo use?

Mukilteo School District's own pages don't name the test — but among the 21 Washington districts whose gifted pages we've read and verified, 16 name the CogAT and 4 the NNAT. Start there, and confirm the exact test with the district's gifted office.

CogAT

Verbal, quantitative & nonverbal reasoning.

NNAT

Nonverbal pattern & figure reasoning — no language.

Iowa Assessments

Achievement across reading, language & maths.

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 Mukilteo School District 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.
