Bonnie,
This is some information I had collected for another parent in GA when
her son was being tested for the gifted program. I hope it helps.

Option 1, the Psychometric Approach: 

The student may qualify on the basis of mental ability and achievement
assessment results only (regardless of the assessment results in
creativity and motivation). In this case the mental ability test score
must be a composite or full-scale score. The composite score must be at
the 99th percentile for students in grades K-2. The composite score may
be at the 96th percentile or higher for students in grades 3-12. In
addition, students (grades K-12) must meet at least one of the
achievement standards described in the SBOE Rule 160-4-2-.38: 90th
percentile Total Reading, 90th percentile Total Math, 90th percentile
total achievement test battery, or superior product/performance
assessment. No student may qualify on the basis of a mental ability test
score alone.
