Osceola Talent Identification Program (TIP)

  • Osceola TIP logo

    The School District of Osceola County Talent Identification Program (TIP) is a phenomenal opportunity for 8th grade students that inspires excellence in gifted/talented education. Each year, Osceola TIP identifies the top 20% of students in the county based on prior FAST PM 3 and/or BEST scores and invites them to participate in the program.

    Students who participate during the 8th grade have the chance to take the SAT to gain a strong understanding of the level of their skills that can be used in the classroom to better serve their academic needs. 

    Osceola County provides two SAT testing locations for 8th graders only, Neptune Middle School and Horizon Middle School.  The test date is November 2, 2024.  Students who are interested in taking the SAT at one of the 8th grade sites must complete the online application through CollegeBoard.

    Students who participate in the SAT during the school year as an 8th grader, will also be given the opportunity to attend a summer camp. More information regarding the summer opportunity will be sent out in second semester.

    Stay up to date with important updates and reminders by joining the TIP Remind. School counselors at each of the middle schools are also a great resource for information!

    Remember the SAT exam is normed for 11th grade students when you are comparing student results to the overall score range.  This will give you a good example of where your child scored on an above level exam knowing they have not had the chance to be exposed to all of the content yet.

    Check out the resources below to find out how to save your childs SAT score to a permanent record.  This must be done before August, otherwise the record will not be accessible after that time period.
