I think you have to trust your gut, TXMom. You see your child every day. The testing was one sample on one day, so if the tester doesn't know how to test GT kids, and/or if the questions start out too easy and the child is bored and uncooperative, and/or if the kid gets an ornery and imaginative streak that day and answers all the questions in Elvish or whale language or something (don't laugh--it has happened!)...then it's not going to be an accurate snapshot.
It really sounds to me like you ought to retest. Based on what you've said, he sounds like he's more GT than the tests are showing.
Would the school accept outside scores? Or do they only accept their testing?
P.S. Dottie is our resident testing guru. You're in great hands!
