Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy How to deal with school . Placement issue

Hello
It is a first time a post here.
The issue is old.
My DS10 in 5th grade. Every year his tests results a pretty good. Last year his scores in ERB ( CTP) suburban were 97-99.
Nevertheless he was not accepted to school enrichment program. Explanation - his writing skills is not up to the level of the enrichment program, even the writing is nowehere to be described as a requirement for the program.
He passed CTY SCAT test in December in language ( result with honor) and in math (it is close to Honor level even I did not explained to him the time limit 22 min and he thought he had extra time). We did not do any preprartion to the test , it was very spontaneos.
This year he took a writing class in CTY where his instructor rates his writing skills very high.
This year his ERB suburban score in reading 81 ( national 95) . Do not ask me why ?? His verbal reasoning suburban 99. As a result ( low reading score) he will not have a chance to be accepteded to honor's programs for middle school , that upsets him tremendously. The issue, he knows that most kids in current enrichment program had much lower test scores than him last year and were accepted .
He does not do any additional study besides school program. And I know for years , that he was missing a lot not being at his level at school.
Is is possible to request CTY help for recomendation and bring DS SCAT tests results to school to advocate his placement.
Would it work ?
Any additional testing ?
How to deal with school?
I know where the issue is . We had a probelm with one of his teachers in the past .Also I went to Board of Education , when he was not placed in enrichment program unfairly. It did not bring any success , but more damage , I guess.
Besides, most kids in enrichment are of the parents who basically live at school . I work full time and cannot afford it .
WHAT To do ? I cannot move to a diffent town, cannot afford private school.
