Thanks so much for the advise. I love the idea of the SAT/ACT. He is already set to take 10th Grade geometry next year in 8th grade. (What he wanted was to take Honors Geometry at the High School.) Luckily our district has a large group of high fliers and they do offer math classes up to 2 years excelerated.

The math MAP norm for our district was 233, and he was 268. His algrbra teacher said he had the highest of all the 7th graders in 9th grade Algebra. So, I know he's at the top. Apparently just about all his math classmates are "id"ed GT. I'm currently awaiting a call back from the GT coordinator.

@DeeDee... only classifing kids at particular, pre-picked ages makes absolutely no sense to me! Do you happen to know what some schools would do that? I'm in Colorado and I don't actually know of that's the case here or not. But it sounds like a bizare strategy.
