    The Jonesboro School District acknowledges the existence of the unique educational needs of gifted students. The district is committed to providing:

    • A program which will allow these students to pursue independent, self-directed learning,
    • A variety of activities and experiences designed to develop higher levels of thinking, and
    • Encouragement to strengthen task commitment and creative potential.

    Gifted students are encouraged in the development of leadership skills through different decision making and problem solving activities. Various methods are used to make students aware of individual abilities and to assist students in self-evaluation.
