How to Apply

San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet Center is one of only two elementary school magnet programs within Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that serves the needs of highly gifted students. To be admitted into the program, students must score a minimum of 99.5-99.9 on an intellectual assessment administered by a LAUSD school psychologist. In order for your child to be referred for an IQ Test, you must do the following:

 

 

Once your child has received their eligibility letter stating that he or she is highly gifted or highly gifted applicable, please call Olivia Diaz, the magnet coordinator at San Jose Highly Gifted Magnet Center, for enrollment information.

 

The opportunity to apply to our magnet program for the 2024-25 school year begins on Monday, October 2, 2023, and will close on Friday, November 17, 2023.  Once the short window to enroll opens, it is required that you fill out the application immediately. Once you complete the application, you will receive a confirmation number, which you will need to keep in a safe place as that will be your number to verify or gather information about your application. It is imperative that you complete the application by the deadline. If you complete it late, you will be placed on a “late list.”  Your child must be identified as highly gifted or highly gifted applicable at the time you complete the application in order to be considered for enrollment.  If your child has not met the highly gifted eligibility or has not been assessed at the time you apply, he or she will be declined.

 

Please call Mrs. Diaz at (818) 365-3218 or email her at [email protected] for questions regarding eligibility for the program.
