Sadly, Puffin nailed it. In a district where 3% are in a self-contained gifted classroom and another 15% have pull-out "gifted" services. My DS with a 133 FSIQ and 133 GAI on the WISC (very even profile) and a 131 Cogat is NOT considered gifted because I haven't been hothousing (tutoring/prepping) him. I was actually told by the gifted director that he isn't even close to being gifted.
