Challenge Entrance Criteria 
All students take the MAP test grades K-7.  Students scoring in the 98th and 99th percentile on MAP are invited to take the district-designated aptitude assessment, SAGES.  This tool is designed to demonstrate individual problem-solving skills, and it does not require any preparation.  Scores are normed based on a child's age.
