I have only personal experience to relate, but I think there may be something to the working memory being a better predictor of academic performance thing. My son's FSIQ is exactly the same as your son's, 132, but his GAI is lower (mostly due to a weaker VCI), and he has always been far and away the best student in every class (and grade!) of his school...but it seems obvious that your son's verbal skills (and PSI) are greater. It seems to me that personality would play a role in all this, too.
ETA: My son's working memory yielded his highest score (on WISC-IV) by far.
