Nagliari Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT)
The NNAT was administered the week of January 8. All kindergartners and second graders at Highwood Hills were tested. Also tested were nominated students in grades 1, 3, 4, and 5. Parents will receive the results in the mail. This test is offered to identify students for elementary gifted and talented programs, including eligibility for Capitol Hill Magnet School.
