Oh dear, I hate to be the one to break this to you but, at least in our district, there is no out-of-level testing. Our district uses Acuity. They only test at grade level because that is what they care about. Their only concern is whether your kid is on track to demonstrate proficiency on the state standardized/NCLB test. So our school district pays for regular testing where my kid regularly gets all questions correct on material that she learned 1-2 years ago. It tells us and them nothing about where my kid is or whether she has learned anything. It does allow them to check off their NCLB requirements.

In other districts, they regularly use resources, like MAP, that allow the kid to go beyond grade level. Celebrate if you are in one of those districts. Our district declined to use MAP because it is too expensive.
