TripleB, I can totally relate to the tears, and to wanting your kid to learn along with others, not alone.
Agreed.
If you feel comfortable sharing the approximate range of your son's score it would help.
It would help whom? While there are
levels of gifted (LOG), and a school may offer different
tiers of service, some may say it is possible to introduce these ideas to a parent without needing to know their child's test scores.
What is great for one child can be pathetic for another child, and a large part of the fit is found in the distance of their IQ score from the mean.
Some may say that a child's
interests, personality, learning style, specific areas of strength, and any areas of challenge may be important considerations in
educational planning and advocacy. A test score is just a snapshot, a measurement at a point in time.
