How can a second grader get into the GATES program?

Question

What would she be tested on, how ? She's very bright and the teacher had suggested it last year.

Answer 1

oooh, I am waiting to see this answer. I live in the CRAPPIEST school district ever and my 2nd grade daughter is really smart too.

I'd love to move, but the market sucks so bad, we had our house for sale for an entire year and it did nothing.

Good for you for your smart daughter! I know how proud you are of her!!!

Answer 2

If you child's in the 2nd grade now, she'll be tested this school year.  Most schools test in grades 2-4 for GATE.    Where I live, my son was tested in the 2nd grade.  No special test was done.  It was decided by his teacher & myself that he was GATE material from his test scores.

Talk to her 2nd grade teacher about GATE testing.  Find out if they test this year or next year, 3rd.
