Lukemac, I think if you hang around here you can get caught up thinking 98th percentile isn't all that "out there" - but really, a kid with a 98th percentile IQ score in most cases needs a heck of a lot more than is offered in the typical classroom, or even in the typical gifted classroom. I would let go of thinking of whether or not the IQ # represents "PG" or "MG" and instead do your best to know your ds well, and get him the challenge he craves and/or needs (while still also trying to understand what's behind any ability-vs-achievement questions you have).

I'm in a hurry at the moment, will be back later re thoughts on "what to do".
