I'm sure it could happen, especially with 2e children with issues like dyslexia, and presumably also with others whose strengths just happened to be matched with Raven. But basically, you have an extremely bright kid there!

Sounds like my son....he did not score as gifted with the Raven but he is sharp as a tack and bored at school.

Can you explain what highly g rated means?
