Gilbert Public Schools’ goal for gifted learners is to help every student realize and reach their full potential, officials said.
Brent Gardner, the district’s coordinator of advanced learning, noted to the Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board that while gifted students typically make up about 3% of a school population, in Gilbert about 11% of students qualify for gifted services.
“That’s a challenge because it’s a very large number of students,” he said. “So how do we meet the need of all of these students?”
