The Duke Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) is a gifted education program sponsored by Duke University. Its purpose is to identify gifted children and provide them and their parents the resources for them to reach their full educational potential.

Duke TIP operates in sixteen states throughout the South and Midwest, specifically the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Duke TIP was originally started in 1980 and operated in 13 states; Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska were added the following year.

Students are identified in fourth/fifth grade and/or in seventh grade. In the seventh grade search, students may take the either the SAT or ACT college entrance exam. If a student does exceptionally well on these exams, he or she can receive state and even national recognition for his or her efforts.

Woodlawn 7th graders have participated in the Duke TIP program since 2002-03, the year Woodlawn opened. Multiple Woodlawn students have received "state" recognition each year, and 3 students have received "national" recognition.  In the 2012-13 school year, 21 of our seventh grade students qualified for participation in the program - the largest number of qualifiers in Woodlawn's history.
