Program Services
Rutherford County Schools views gifted programming and services as a collaborative effort, which is integrated with differentiation offered in the general education programming. |
Elementary School Programming: Serve identified students (Grade 4-5) and potential gifted students (Grades K-5) through a blended service model to include classroom learning environments, pull-out service, push-in service and an expanded nurturing component.

- Grades 4-5 : Reading and Math Innovation Days
