Agree with what Polar said. The school's job is to look for the educational impact of potential disabilities; the neuropsych's job is to provide a comprehensive diagnostic workup. Very different tasks.
If you think your child will need services (IEP) or accommodations, you should do the paperwork to request testing through the school, but let them know you are also seeking private evaluation. They will likely accept the private tester's diagnostic work, but add their own observations. Doing the two processes in parallel helps you get through it faster, since the school is *required* to do their own evaluation process.
