This is what I was told - even though your child might have advanced abilities in a subject, the testing that they do is for grade level proficiency. If the child answered all the questions correctly, then they are graded as "meeting the requirements". They do not test for advanced abilities in my school district until 3rd grade. Until that time, the child will be tested on grade level stuff.
This is pretty much my experience with DS8 in Kinder. I got myself all worked up until I spoke with a friend at a very expensive and prestigious private school and she was having the same issues. Basically at our school in Kinder the report card is a guide for parents as to where the teacher is in the curriculum, and has no bearing on individual student performance. We are in a magnet TAG program. Things got very different and better for us in 1st, FWIW.
