GATE is a program for students in 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grades. Students are qualified for GATE based on their SBAC Test scores.  To qualify, students must score in the 95^th Percentile (not percentage) in both Language Arts and Math. They can also qualify by scoring a 99^th percentile in either Language Arts or Math on the SBAC. Scores of all Clovis Unified Students in each individual grade level are compiled to determine the 95^th percentile scores. 

 

A District test will be given to students that were close to qualifying in both Language Arts and Math and have a Teacher Recommendation.  Students will need to score in the 98^th Percentile on this test to qualify.  

 

The test is given only once per school year.  It is usually given in October or November at Cole Elementary.  There is only one test date per school year.  If your student is recommended for this test, they will receive a Permission Slip from the GATE Advisor, Ginna Willers

 

The test will be given on (TBA)  Any questions please email Ginna Willers
