Wow, you guys are a wealth of knowledge! Thanks so much.

Re: achievement tests, would the COGAT be that? I know her school administers the COGAT to all 1st graders so she must have taken it--but we never got the results. I can contact the school and ask. (Btw: Is it typical not to automatically receive results from these kinds of tests?)

I also think they may have done the MAP at the end of the year but am not sure. My partner's children get results every year from that (same school system) but they're older.

All in all, I feel like the school gives them tests but is not forthcoming about the results. The process is opaque and they're rather secretive about it.
