Edmonds School District Gifted Programs are for students in the Edmonds School District who take the Cognitive Abilities Test and are identified as gifted or highly capable. Referrals for testing are due at the end of November (see specific dates below). The pace of the instruction is designed to meet the needs of students who learn very quickly and can process information at much higher and more abstract level. For more information, please visit the district website at www.edmonds.wednet.edu.
