With consistently adequate or above-average scores on AP exams and state tests, Utah schools have fostered a community of academic success to which teachers with advanced certificates in gifted and talented education and technology contribute. According to the Utah State Office of Education, fourth and eighth graders achieved 2011 Nation’s Report Card scores that were consistent with or better than the national average, for the most part. The department also reported that more than half of those taking AP tests “passed” with a score of 3, 4, or 5.
