Fourth and Fifth Grade Duke Tip Talents
The Duke University Talent Identification Program is committed to the advancement of academically talented students and the provision of innovative programs and resources to support their development. To be eligible, students must score above the required percentiles on their most recent grade level achievement, aptitude, mental ability or approved state criterion – referenced test.

As a school, Boyd Buchanan works with these identified students to motivate focus on academic achievement, reward positive performance and offer an above – grade level testing experience.
