Our son was screened in Kindergarten, but we didn't have him tested in Mid-School - mainly because I was still running away from the idea that kids with higher IQ's might actually need a different type of education and that gifted did not mean "elite". It meant gifted ... and all that comes with gifted.
If you can afford it, I don't see where getting some benchmark feedback could hurt. It's good to know. And some of the things we discovered about our youngest make me really wish I'd had him tested before Kindergarten.
