I reread my post and I realize I didn't make it clear that ds has completed academic testing and we do know where he falls based on grade level and comparable age.
The school has this report as well.
I'm having difficulty getting a clear answer from some of his teachers regarding what benchmarks he still has to hit. 7th grade is still many grades below his potential. I would like for him to learn the concepts he needs and move on to more stimulating material.
I came in at the beginning of the year with both 7th & 8th grade state benchmarks. I highlighted those that I thought he had probably hit and asked if we could move on from there. I was pretty much ignored.
