It's not right that you should have to pay money for a different tester, but if the school won't do it, it may be your best option to advocate for your son. I would imagine you have a teacher who also would notice that the results don't jive with the child he/she knows. Can you have someone else go with you to the GT specialist or the principal to ask for individual testing?
How did you get the corresponding IQ estimate? Could that be wrong? If not, the school may be required to offer testing anyway. I'm not an expert on these matters, just going on assumptions here.
Why is the school refusing to answer questions? That doesn't seem right.
Whatever the case, you have every right to advocate for your DS. Good luck and tell us how it goes.
