2022-2023 State of the States in Gifted Education

The National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) in collaboration with the Council of State Directors of Programs for the Gifted is pleased to present the 2022-2023 State of the States in Gifted Education report. The State of the States is the only broad study of state data on gifted education in the United States and provides a detailed look at the funding, identification, range of services, and policies that support K-12 gifted and talented education. At a time when educational landscapes are rapidly evolving, this analysis provides critical insights into how schools and districts identify, serve, and support gifted learners.

This report serves as an essential resource for educators, policymakers, and advocates committed to strengthening gifted education and ensuring that all gifted and talented learners receive the support they need to thrive. As we move forward, NAGC remains steadfast in its mission to empower all who support children with advanced abilities to access equitable opportunities that develop their gifts and talents. We hope this report will serve as a valuable tool in guiding conversations, shaping policy, and ultimately fostering a more inclusive and effective system of gifted education nationwide. Working together, we can achieve our vision of all children having the opportunities and support to realize their full potential.
