The service offered to gifted students at the middle school level in Loudoun County Public Schools is called Spectrum. Most students who participate in the Spectrum program at the middle school level were identified in the 3rd grade, participated in the elementary program during 4th and 5th grades, and moved on to the Spectrum program in middle school. Those students who move into our school district during the middle school years or whose parents wish for their student to be screened are identified by a multi-faceted process involving standardized test scores, and student portfolios.

The Fall 2025 referral window is September 9 - 26, 2005. For information regarding eligibility, please contact one of the gifted resource teachers or visit the LCPS Gifted and Talented Education Website.

Please contact one of the gifted resource teachers (Erin Dollery or Laura Richardson) if you would like more information or a referral form. The referral form is also available on the division gifted services page.

Thank you.
