When my DD was in K, the school acknowledged that she was way ahead in reading (it was hard not to when she was speeding through chapter books whenever a spare moment appeared...can your DS bring some to school? Are there any in the classroom?) However, when it came to math, we were also told she was "fine" and "on grade level." The evidence for this? "Her performance is good, but she doesn't choose to work ahead in the math book like some of the kids do. She prefers to free read instead."
Gee, yet more 2 + 2 problems or reading my chapter book? Tough call.
Anyway. Do give it a bit more time. I know how you feel. I was you once. School is...glacial. Incremental. Keep chipping away. You have some leverage. Keep working on it.
