Will his school finally take us seriously? (sarcasm!)
Welcome to the politics of giftedness
You have a very bright young boy! What are the options for your ds at school? Have you approached the school previously, or will this be your first attempt at advocating for accommodations/services/etc?
Re will the school take you seriously, when our ds was in 2nd grade, our school psych made a very snide remark in a team meeting along the lines of "any child who can sign their name can score at the 99th percentile on the WPPSI" (which ds had taken prior to entering kindergarten)... *if* you run into attitudes like that, you need to just calmly state what your ds' scores are, what they mean, where he most likely falls relative to the other students in his class.
Was achievement testing included with the testing, or does your school do any type of standardized/norm'd achievement testing? It can be very helpful to have the achievement testing along with IQ testing when you're advocating for acceleration and/or differentiation.
Good luck!
