Is the principal familiar with your son's school history? I ask only because maybe they are looking at in the sense that you have held him back the two years, now you want him moved up the two years kind of mind set. I certainly don't think that is right but am wondering if this could be in play in this situation? It's obvious that even then he would need more challenging material but maybe they aren't looking at it that way. As mentioned, they may not be able to understand what his scores really mean. My DD9 is in 5th grade and they couldn't make accomodations for her, and many of the staff just didn't get it. It's so sad that because they don't get it our kids have to suffer.
