How to figure out if a grade skip is needed? If it is then how to make a strong case for next year? Do we need to get an IQ test done or are the above average scores from group IQ and academic tests enough? Is it possible to assert to the district that your child is a good candidate for grade-skip and that they arrange for an IQ test? Will they do it? Any pointers\articles\material I can use to effectively represent my child?
DS7 scored 99 percentile in CogAT(a level up). On the third grade ITBS, he scored 97 percentile in reading and 99 percentile in Math. However he does not qualify for the gifted services provided by the district. He needs to be in top 2 percentile in both reading and math, he is there in math but short in reading. He has mentioned ITBS being way too easy so we think that he might have made some silly mistakes. He has been working at least a gradeup in his current school, however he has been sailing without much effort and complaining of work being too easy every now and then which we kept dismissing thinking its a common trend around here and he might have picked it up from someone in the school. After seeing his scores, our perception is changing a bit and we are trying to figure out if we need to take any steps and what are those?
