Subsequently these test data were dropped from the local norms because they skewed all other student results much lower.

I would not say he is hitting the ceiling but could not be sure. He did get a 269 in the spring of 3rd grade on the math section and took 2 days (math period) to finish that test. He is now in 6th and they are going to try to put a time limit on him of which I am not in favor of. The test really does not matter to us personally any more. I am not sure how it bothers my son. We will see tonight. It drives his teachers crazy.
