Wow. Those are really, really high scores. Did she hit the ceiling on any of the subtests? If so, were extended norms done? Also, they're ALL really high which will be really helpful for your dd as she goes through school.
It sounds like your kindy teacher is either boxed in by her administration by what she can offer your dd, or by her own prejudices and misinformation. It's a shame your dd gets marked off for "working ahead" of others. I'm so tired of hearing about gifted kids being made to wait for others to catch up, meanwhile getting virtually no instruction adequate enough for their own growth that I could spit fire.
So, yes, I would look into achievement testing if only for DYS application. She already has the ability which more than meets DYS requirements.
I'm afraid your long, uphill battle has only just begun.
And FWIW, we were surprised by our ds12's (tested at 11) WISC IV results as well. I think it may be quite common.
Welcome!!
I think I am getting an idea of the uphill battle. I believe the school will be testing her later this week with end of year 1st grade assessments to gauge her abilities and are recommending pull outs. We suggested putting her in the combo kinder/1st grade class next door, or possibly staying in her class then going next door for the 1st grade portion when the kinders leave that classroom. Don't think that will be happen, the principal told us that that will not be so easy to accommodate since we are so far along in the year (school ends end of May).
DD did hit ceilings in block design and matrix reasoning in the PRI subset but she did not do any extended norms. I was pleased at how well rounded she is, but wasn't surprised at the lower WMI..mental math is not her strong area. I think we are going to have to go for the assessment with the private ed. psych. after all. Thank you for your input and welcome!
