Raven's Matrices - above 98th percentile (this was conducted by school this year to determine selection for the gifted program. They begrudgingly told me the result verbally when I asked why he was not included).
So was your son eventually included in the gifted program? How do you feel about having to ask why he wasn't included? I think that maintaining a good relationship with the school is important, if they can give him excellent-fit teachers, for example, that will help a lot, but OTOH, some of us have fallen into the trap of not asking for what our child needs in the name of maintaining a good relationship. I'm not saying that this particular gifted program would or wouldn't be a good place for your child, but your child is gifted, and it would be reasonable for them to call you in and share the data and discuss the pros and cons, yes?
