My daughter was identified at age 4.5 as GT. In our current district children are identified as GT math science and GT LA. She has been identified as both. Long story short, she has taken numerous tests over the years (she is now 10), but no IQ test. There is an option in out district to attend a highly gifted school, but only if a student has an IQ of 140 or more. The district will not administer an IQ test to my child because none of her Cogat scores were 140 or higher. However, I don't think our daughter tests as well in a group setting, and her teachers always refer to her as highly gifted. Do any of you have a child who scored much higher on the WISC vs the Cogat? Trying to determine if we should make the investment and have her tested privately. TIA!!
