We are in Connecticut. It seems like, from the meeting - the bar is - is she at grade level? The answer for this question can only come from her teacher, I was told - because it only matters how she is doing in the classroom - not how she did on our own external testing, not how she is at home. So even though, for example, she tested as dysgraphic by our tester - the teacher sees her as "meeting or exceeding grade level expectations"

I guess it is hard to accept that "meets or exceeds grade level expectations" is going to be where the bar is set. I guess I would kind of expect a gifted kid to be performing well above grade level, unless there is a problem.
