The concept of gifted education and college and career readiness have been around for many decades. There has been little to no research on the relationship of high school gifted programs to college and career readiness scores. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between high schools having a gifted program and college and career readiness scores of the district. This study examined the effects of districts with high school gifted programs on composite ACT scores, graduation rates, remedial college courses, and employment after graduation. The study was able to use statewide data reported by each district in the state of Missouri. The hope was to find a connection between districts that had a high school gifted program and college and career readiness scores of those districts.
