The Brazosport Independent School District identifies and serves gifted students in grades K-12. Students in grades K-5 are identified on the basis of general intellectual ability and creative thinking while students in grades 6-12 are identified based upon specific academic aptitude, coupled with general intellectual ability and creative thinking. This program, SEARCH, endeavors to provide services and support for gifted students by Seeking Excellence through Ability, Responsibility, Creativity, and Honor.
Identified students in grades K-3 are served by designated grade-level campus SEARCH teachers and itinerant gifted and talented resource specialists. Identified students in grades 4-5 are pulled out of regular classes one day each week to work with other gifted students and g/t resource teachers. Gifted students in grades 6-12 are served on a daily basis in specific content areas - language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Students are cluster-grouped within SEARCH classes in grades 6-8 and in the Pre-AP and AP classes in grades 9-12.
