Sorry in advance for the length, wasn't sure where to start.

My son is 5 1/2 and in Kindergarten. He went to a very small preschool and had a lot of one on one time with his teacher. In kindergarten he is doing amazingly well academically. He's reading, he's great at math. He picks up on things so quickly. Somehow he understand the concept of multiplying. I asked him randomly one day (trying to prove to him he wasn't THAT smart) how much 2x3 was and he said "6. Because 3 + 3 is 6. While in shock I asked what is 8 x 10 and he said 80. (he proved me wrong I guess). He has a great vocabulary, he hears a word and will use it (and use it accurately). Once he told me he wanted to take a snack somewhere just incase he got a little peckish and I thought he was making up a word.

I think he's... bright. But, is he gifted? What exactly does that even mean? When I think of gifted I think of little geniuses who graduate high school when they are 10... I don't think of my little guy.

He was really pretty average until some time between 2 and 3 years old. at one point when he was 2 I actually had wondered if he had a delay but at some point that changed. By the time he started pre-school he was wowing his teacher with the full sentences and big words he was using.

Today, he's having behavior issues at school. I think a lot of it is sensory related (currently fighting the school for an SPD evaluation, I believe he is sensory seeking) BUT I am also wondering if some of it is boredom. As I began researching trying to figure our what his issue is I see that some gifted children do have some behavior issues.

He has not been tested yet. The only test I am aware the school has performed on him is the STAR Early literacy test. He got a 812 on it and he's in the 98th percentile. I wish they tested for math.

I am in NY. I'm pretty sure our school district doesn't have a gifted and talented program, from what I've read I don't think many schools in our area do.

I don't know if testing him is the right thing to do and if it is even where to start.
