Yeah, we had him tested a while back when we were in another state and thinking about sending him to a gifted school. DS turned out to be HG but hit the ceiling in a few items in the test. We asked whether this meant that he needed to be tested with a different test (it was administered by the psychologist at the gifted school) but their reply was that the only purpose of the test was to see whether DS met their criteria for admission so they would give no re-test.

I'm not sure that I have the courage to show the test score to his current school. Probably we need to recover a little from last year's bad experience, and to figure out whether the general attitude of the school is more aligned with the dismissive teacher last year or with the understanding teacher this year.
