Grades 1-6 General Information

The Naglieri Non-verbal Ability Test (NNAT) is a test to identify students who are eligible for gifted and talented services within the school district. All Saint Paul Public Schools students in kindergarten and second grade will take this new test in 2002-2003. Students in grades 1, 3, 4 and 5 may also be nominated to receive special permission to take the test based on their high test scores and outstanding school work. Students who are identified to be gifted and talented are then eligible for gifted/talented services at any St. Paul School. They are also eligible for Capitol Hill Magnet School. If there are no openings, a student is placed on the waiting list. (Names are randomly selected from the pool for each opening. Each year a new pool is formed.)
There are days set aside for non-public and charter school students to take the assessment. Contact the district Gifted & Talented Services for more information at (651) 793-5525.
