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.

But if her child has an IQ of 132, there are many many options, and I'd be quite confident that most schools would be able to do very well at helping them. If they have an IQ of 150, then even mentioning a once weekly pullout to study video editing or other non-accelarative enrichment is a waste of typing, and misleading to the OP. Those people who say pullouts are great and their child is perfectly accommodated or that buying a house in the advanced Smithville school dstrict fulfilled their kids needs are not lying, because there's a range. IQ's not perfect or even complete, but it does give you a ballpark. I'd hate to cry doom and gloom at the OP if it turns out her kid's going to thrive with a few common interventions.
