His scores were a bit higher than your daughter's:
General Conceptual Ability: 134
Verbal Reasoning: 145
Nonverbal Reasoning: 113
Spatial: 121
We haven't done achievement testing, but at the beginning of the year he tested at a 3rd/4th grade level on the school's reading placement test, and at the level of an 8-10 year old on the school's math screening test. In both situations, he refused to test to his limit, so it might be higher than we think.
Our school is a small elementary school in a college town. The population of our school is high-poverty, high-needs, and racial minority, but our town is quite wealthy, and has tons of services available for the schools. They are doing a really good job of differentiating for the kids who need it at both ends of the curve.
The school system prefers to wait until first grade to make the first wave of referrals to the gifted program because of the huge disparities in pre-school exposure and skills upon entrance to kindergarten. they want to give the kids from poverty a chance to get a foundation in schooling before they begin to identify kids. As a former teacher myself, I am totally fine with that policy. Identification won't change anything for him right now. The school system wouldn't provide him with anything more than they are already doing.
