We know what you’re thinking…
but which one is better?
Gifted Magnets and Schools for Advanced Studies (SAS) are BOTH appropriate educational
options for gifted/high ability learners. They were designed for different purposes but both
provide high-quality GATE differentiated instruction. We encourage you to use the School
Search Tool at https://explore.lausd.net or contact the schools directly to learn more.
Please note that ALL K-12 District schools/programs, including local schools of residence,
must offer GATE services and support. District GATE programs, including Gifted Magnets
and SAS sites, are designed to meet the needs of all types of gifted learners. In addition to
high-achieving students, each school must ensure equitable access for creative thinkers,
students with leadership abilities, able-underachieving learners, English learners, standard
English learners, and students from other Targeted Student Populations (TSP).
GATE Clustering • School site GATE programs must be planned and organized as differentiated learning experiences within the regular school day, i.e., all-day differentiation. • To support student access to a differentiated educational program, District policy requires school sites to cluster identified and verified gifted students in a well-defined way and to provide a differentiated educational program. • Clustering is the intentional placement of a minimum number of identified gifted students per class (elementary level: five to eight students; secondary level: 15 to 25 students). In a Gifted or Highly Gifted Magnet, all students meet eligibility criteria. • GATE cluster grouping is a research-based, effective, and efficient means for schools to provide more challenging coursework, giving gifted/high ability learners daily access to advanced content and new learning, as well as providing students with an academic peer group in core subjects.
