Renton School District serves about 15,310 students across 30 schools in King 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 NNAT. Below is how identification typically works and how to prepare.

Which test does Renton use?

The 30-minute test is called the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test, 3rd Edition (NNAT3) which measures student nonverbal reasoning skills.

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 Renton 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.
