We have a son who scored well on his IQ test (144 overall on a testing day where he was actually quite ill) - and is very outgoing, super bright, and funny. We had him interview at a gifted school and although he was bright enough by IQ scores and academic assessment (he place on 2nd grade reading and math - even though he is in pre-k), they felt he lacked maturity. We are worried that the school might have an issue with his personality, more than his maturity - as he seems like a very normal child of his age. Not sure weather to wait a year and reapply or not. Anyone seen any kind of this supposed asynchronicity in their kids, meaning normal maturity kid w/high scores and faced this kind of issue from gifted program? Not sure what to do?
