I think many are thinking the same question - what state? And then knowing what options are then potentials for advocating, you might want fuller private testing that gives you out of level information - so you know how to best advocate. "Everybody" in my district said the district didn't skip kids. But they do have a state filled policy and they did skip our kids. Sometimes I feel like school can be like playing telephone with insurance companies - you keep getting transfered and told no - until you don't. Much to discover - does your school have gifted services, acceleration policy, can you get private testing, what other school options do you have... and welcome, you are among likeminds.
