Wow, Dottie, spot on! His Vocab score is 16 and Similarities is 19. Comprehension is only 9.
I'll check with her about the math thing, althought it isn't really all that important. It's not like I'm going to send him to high school based on that number. I don't have a raw score, just a standard score and percentile and GE. I did think it interesting that his reading comprehension GE was 7:5 but the percentile was only 97. She said it was something about statistics that she didn't understand.
About school, they are not willing to do subject level acceleration and they have refused in the past to do pretesting, curriculum compacting, or any of the other things that would give him above grade level work. We meet with them tomorrow to discuss next year (we've given up on this year) and to show them his results and ask how they are going to meet his needs. I don't really know what to ask them to do for him. He obviously needs to do something other than 2nd grade reading or math (given that he has grasped the fundamentals). When he finishes his work early now, he is allowed to do a "2nd grade brain teaser" or write in his journal.
Other than the 1 1/2 hours a week he is in the GT class, he is in class with 21 other kids, ranging from not reading at all to him. He doesn't get much attention. The teacher has even said "I don't meet with Jared's reading group as often as I do the others because he doesn't need me as much". Which is why is reading has regressed over the school year. Much of their "language arts" this year has been Saxon Phonics, coding letters. They'll continue to do phonics in 2nd grade. I am just afraid (and maybe even convinced) that they are stifling the love of learning out of him and pushing him into their nice round hole. Maybe I'm wrong and he's not bored.
Thanks for the reassurance.
