I also wanted to clarify my comment earlier in the thread about being on grade level not being "good enough". I don't mean that I won't be happy with his education until he is at the top of his group. I just meant that under the circumstances, being at the same level as the other kids is a red flag.
Based on my experience you are absolutely correct. It was a huge fight to get DD tested because she was operating on grade level. After testing, the summer between K and 1st, we were told straight out that with her comprehension strengths performing anywhere below 4th grade level was indicative of learning disabilities. And boy oh boy does she have learning disabilities! People who get 2e will understand this. People who don't will likely be dismissive and try to paint you as the overbearing mother who wants her little snowflake to seem special. Don't let them get to you. Come here whenever you need and we will remind you.
