The Olmsted School includes a Gifted and Talented Component and a neighborhood component for grades K-4. This means that a certain number of students are accepted who tested into the gifted program and a certain number of students who live within the attendance boundary are accepted through a lottery process.

All new students in grades 5-high school must test in.  However, students who are currently enrolled at Olmsted #64 move right into the middle school. In order for them to remain at Olmsted for grades 9-12 they must maintain an 82-85% average in the 4 core subject areas of ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies and achieve a 3 or 4 on their New York State ELA and Math assessments.

The goal of the Frederick Law Olmsted School is to provide opportunities for students who possess the traits of giftedness: above average ability, high creativity, and high task commitment, to achieve above and beyond the curriculum.
