Cathy, I am glad you had luck with your school. Sounds like you have a great principal.
My experience with handing in the girls' IQ tests was met with, we'll see how they do, originally.
Now the school believes, at least DD8 is an exceptional learner far ahead of most of her peers.
What really helped the school understand where she was, was achievement testing.
The school seemed to understand that better.
We used out of level achievement testing, the WIAT,
I like it because it does keep asking questions out of grade level, so the scores do help you understand what grade a child is comparable to. It's not perfect, but I like it better than an achievement test that just measures at the current grade level. Many school administrators don't understand IQ scores and what the mean, but they do understand achievement tests.
Cathy, what are you hopeful for?
