Stacey,
If you already had WJ-C and WJ-III, you get more comprehensive analysis. But it sounds like the admininstrator in your DD school is very ignorant and he may not understand FSIQ or other subsets score means.
SCAT or EXPLORE are talent search test and you get the comparison against students at least 2 grades above level. That opens a lot of doors, not to mention very cheap alternative to full IQ test. SCAT from CTY starts at 2nd grade, NUMATS (EXPLORE)from Northwestern starts at 3rd grade and TIP (EXPLORE) from Duke starts at 4th grade. EXPLORE test compare against 8th graders and more compelling for advocacy (IMO).
Generally, many northeast states (VA, MA, PA, NJ) have better curriculum than TX. But each school districts can have their curriculum.
Unfortunately some districts "GET IT" but many don't. I hate advocating constantly. We moved to a different district (last summer) that has Gifted curriculum half a day everyday in elementary school. They have TAG classes on most subjects in middle and high school. Basically, the 4th grader will be doing 5th grade in Math and Language Arts and if you are in 6th grade and you will be doing 7th and 8th grade with your peers.
I think having peer group is very important too. Believing that I made the right choice made my daily 130 miles commute easier.
