I would not worry over the GES unless it is the one thing keeping your dw out of a gifted program you think he would benefit from. It looks like a form that is filled out by one teacher and could be heavily influenced by bias, plus it appears to be written with assumptions about the behaviors of gifted children when really gifted kids, like all kids, are very much individuals. My EG dw would most likely had a very very low score on this from his early elementary teachers.
I do think it would be worth pursuing private testing though if your dw us struggling in school or seems to not have his abilities recognized. The NNAT tests non-verbal ability and his score is high. On the K-BIT tee is a large split between his non-verbal and verbal scores - if the score split is real, it's possible that ties into struggles he is having in the classroom and might be frustrating him in a way that results in behavior that looks like difficulty focusing or ADHD.
