I won't be able to help you interpret the scores, since I don't really pay much attention to these scores at all. But I want to say a couple of things.
1. It's not very useful to simply classify someone as "gifted" or "not gifted". The cutoff is somewhat arbitrary. Giftedness is a continuum, different programs use different cutoffs that serve the purposes of the programs. 128 is certainly more gifted than 110, but less than 140. It's relative.
2. No matter what the IQ scores, I think all kids would benefit if parents follow their lead and provide the kids with the most optimal educational environment. I never looked back at my son's IQ scores after we submitted it to the gifted school which required the scores as part of the entrance portfolio. But I know very well his interests, abilities, current levels and weaknesses, so my involvement in his education is simply guided by these (if not for school entrance, I wouldn't even have let him get tested). I think this will become easier and easier as the kids grow up and can communicate better with parents about themselves.
