Under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, the definition of a GT student is "Students who give evidence of high achievement capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields, and who need services or activities not ordinarily provided by the school in order to fully develop those capabilities."
Therefore, you can see that GT students aren't only students with high grades but also individuals who possess other skills that may make them exceptional! 🏆🏅🎉🙌🔥💯🚀
