This data is utilized to indicate which students qualify to receive services to enrich or accelerate their acquisition of knowledge and skills.  \nKindergarten  \nAll students in kindergarten will participate in the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) as a universal screening for potential. A student will automatically qualify as high ability when he or she earns a score in the 96th percentile or above in language arts and/or math. A student must earn scores in the 96th percentile or above in both language arts and math to be identified as high ability in the area of general intellect.  \nFor kindergarten students who earn a score in the 85th-95th percentile on CogAT, Rising Sun-Ohio County Schools will use normative data from the IOWA assessment to identify high academic achievement. Kindergarten students who achieve in the 98th percentile or higher on the math and/or language arts sections of IOWA will qualify as students with high abilities.  \nSecond Grade  \nAll students in 2nd grade will participate in the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) as a universal screening for potential. A student will automatically qualify as high ability when he or she earns a score in the 96th percentile or above in language arts and/or math. A student must earn scores in the 96th percentile or above in both language arts and math to be identified as high ability in the area of general intellect.  \nFor 2nd grade students who earn a score in the 85th-95th percentile on CogAT, Rising Sun-Ohio County Schools will use normative data from the IOWA assessment to identify high academic achievement. 2 nd grade students who achieve in the 96th percentile or higher on the math and/or language arts sections of IOWA will qualify as students with high abilities.  \nFifth Grade  \nAll students in 5th grade will participate in the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) as a universal screening for potential. A student will automatically qualify as high ability when he or she earns a score in the 96th percentile or above in language arts and/or math. A student must earn scores in the 96th percentile or above in both language arts and math to be identified as high ability in the area of general intellect.  \nFor 5th grade students who earn a score in the 85th-95th percentile on CogAT, Rising Sun-Ohio County Schools will use normative data from the IOWA assessment to identify high academic achievement. 5th grade students who achieve in the 96th percentile or higher on the math and/or language arts sections of IOWA will qualify as students with high abilities.  \nStudents who slightly miss the cut-offscores or who are English Language Learners may participate in a third path to qualify, which includes teacher rating scales and consideration of other testing and classroom data.  \nMiddle and High School Students  \nOnce the 5th grade identification is completed, students do not need to requalify for high ability services. Honors and Advance Placement (AP) classes are considered high ability services. IOWA results will continue to be monitored. If data suggest that students should be newly identified or exited from high ability services, parents will be notified by the High Ability Coordinator or Guidance Counselor.  \nMove-In Students from Other Districts  \nStudents who move from other schools may have been identified using differing methods and cut-off scores than those used within Rising Sun-Ohio County Schools. This includes other schools in Indiana, as the state regulations allow for districts to determine their own procedures.  \nStudents who move into Rising Sun-Ohio County Schools with high ability identification from another school corporation may submit testing data to be reviewed by the identification committee.
