Lakewood City Schools will be conducting standardized testing beginning March 1, 2010 for multiple purposes, one of which is meeting state requirements for gifted identification. Referrals for gifted identification testing are being taken for grades 3, 5 and 6. If you would like to refer your child for testing please contact either your child’s building principal or teacher. Lakewood City Schools will test all students at the following grade levels: grade 1; grade 2; grade 4; and grade 7 therefore referrals at these grade levels are not needed.
Lakewood City Schools provides services beginning at second grade for those students who meet the requisite state criteria for gifted identification in ability and achievement. Services are provided at three elementary schools and both middle schools. Additional services are also provided for students who meet the criteria in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies beginning in sixth grade.
If you have any questions regarding Lakewood City Schools please contact Rod Lake, Coordinator of Gifted/Talented, at 216-529-4087.
