Meridian School District is now accepting referrals for the Highly Capable Program through Wednesday, Dec. 14. Highly capable students are those who perform or show potential for performing at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of their age, experiences or environments.

Teachers, families and community members may refer any student in grades K-11 for assessment. Students in high school can self refer. All second grade students will be screened regardless of a referral.

Beginning Nov. 16, to refer a student for assessment, complete the Highly Capable referral form by Wednesday, Dec. 14 for eligibility in the 2023-24 school year.
