Thank you for your responses it makes me feel better about this. The school does have a person who is supposed to handle the academic placement of students but he does not seem to really know when acceleration is provided or how. He seems more invested in students that are struggling.
I was hoping he would be allowed to atleast attend 6th grade math classes instead of 5th and get credit for it.
If they don't agree to it I will ask for him to do independent study as suggested above. I was thinking he can take the module tests with his grade. It does not really serve any purpose except for grades. The school honors kids with straight A's each semester and DS likes getting the certificate too. I am more worried about when he will be placed in a class that fits his level. He will be done with AOPS Pre Algeba by the end of this year. We will certainly not stop his tutoring sessions just because of the widening gap between school and his level. One of his teachers seems responsive I am hoping to talk to him before the meeting with the coordinator.
Have made a copy of all the reports and materials to hand it to the school, hopefully they are receptive.
MON I wasn't aware of that Saxon study - its a good thing DS already has a tutor working with him On Pre-Algebra eh ? ;-)
