Welcome!
What is your source for the list of tests which Ohio accepts?
I ask because I clicked on the Davidson resource, "How gifted-friendly is your state?" in the left-hand margin of this forum.
For Ohio, I found this:
Ohio- I clicked on the embedded legislation link and found this:
Ohio gifted legislation- - I clicked on the Revised Code link and found this:
Ohio Revised Code 3324.03- I clicked on the Ohio Dept. of Education link and found this:
Rules, Regulations, and Policies for Gifted Education- -
I clicked on District Gifted Identification Plan and noticed that the Gifted Identification Plan is to include "
Assurances that districts will accept qualifying scores from approved assessments obtained from outside of the district."
Again, this is new for 2017-2018. Possibly there are more identification options for your child than what you may have been made aware of?
MAP and Stanford Achievement Test are both
achievement tests; There are typically also
intelligence tests (IQ tests) which are also accepted. There may be many reasons why a child may not
achieve at the level predicted by their
intelligence... this could include having an "off" day, having a learning difference or learning disability along with being gifted (twice-exceptional or 2e), or being an underachiever due to having given up on school (usually after experiencing lack of appropriately challenging curriculum or other school policies which result in stagnation).
