How to Apply
Criteria:
San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet Center is one of only three elementary school magnet programs within Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that serves the needs of highly gifted students. To be admitted into the program, students must score a minimum of 99.5% on an intellectual assessment administered by a LAUSD school psychologist. In order for your child to be referred for an IQ Test, you must do the following:
- Submit a written letter of request to have your child IQ tested at your current school.
- Sign a Parental Consent Form for the IQ Test
- Wait until you are notified of the upcoming IQ Test, which could take 2-4 months from the time your IQ referral has been submitted to the district.
Once your child has been tested, please call Olivia Diaz, Magnet Coordinator at San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet Center for your child’s unofficial test score.
