"can get rough in tag games, likes to dig in sand, parallel play, takes long time to do homework"
The thing that concerns me is the schools are so focused on the social thing. I'm reading into it that this statement is the main reason they want him held back. Just my opinion.
I'm guessing they feel he is too immature to progress and needs that extra year to catch up, common with ND boys.
The scary thing is you and I know he is a bright boy, probably rejecting his agemates because he is probably innapropriately placed in his grade....so much evidence points to giftedness being genetic and running in families.
I'd take Grinity's tack, go her course. I think that's the best plan with what they are dealing with.
