I have called the principal where my son whould be attending and she did advise I go to a private school for this year. There is only 1 private school and it only goes up to K. I told the principal that he had been accepted for K at private school but would he be able to transfer to 1st along with the other kids? She said "NO" that he would have to repeat K b/c of age. UGH! Great advice from a principal for a child that works on a 1st/2nd grade level to repeat K twice. I asked about skipping K she said there is a test but rarely do children pass it and she didn't suggest that we do it. We have had son's IQ tested. He was tested with the WPPSI which only go up to an IQ of 160 and son's IQ was 130. I would like to have son tested with a IQ test where the IQ level is 200+. Most people are use to a test where kids can get a IQ of 200. but when the ceiling/IQ only goes to 160 then most people look at this test as son only made 130 out of 200 not 130 out of 160.
I may call the school or the gifted department and see if they do testing.
