Jeffco Public Schools

Jeffco’s GT Department identifies students as gifted at all of our district neighborhood, charter and option schools in all grades K-12 as per Colorado Department of Education (CDE) guidelines.  Some students who are identified as gifted qualify for an Advanced Learning Plan (ALP).  Additionally, some students who qualify as gifted may be eligible for enrollment at one of our GT Center schools.  The application processes for GT identification and for GT Center school access are both similar, yet distinct.


Click here for GT Identification Referral: This form should be completed for students who are only seeking GT identification for an Advanced Learning Plan (ALP), and who are planning to remain at their current neighborhood, option or charter school, and not interested in attending a GT Center school. (This application is open year round).  For more information on our process, please see the GT ID Referral Flowchart.

The 2019 GT Fall Application is now closed   This application is for students testing for the 2020-2021 school year.   All GT Center testing has been completed for the 2019-2020 school year. For more information on our process, please see the GT Center Application Flowchart.

• 2019-20 Parent Narrative

For all application processes, parents will also need to complete the GT Parent Narrative, which is a separate form.




Both GT Identification Referral and GT Center Application decisions are based on a Body of Evidence, including both qualitative and quantitative data.  Please see our GT Identification & Assessments page for more information on the ID process in Jeffco.  Testing data should be within the last two years to be considered for an ALP or GT Center qualification.

If you have additional outside testing data (WISC IV, DAS, Stanford-Binet, other cognitive/IQ testing, etc..) you would like us to consider for the application, please send to:
