It was not our experience that our son was docked points but it was a year plus process to get things sorted. The school kept suggesting alternatives which we would try and agree to meet again in a few months. Ultimately we had a teacher that said she could not challenge him and helped advocate. Also, once they realized we were not trying to get him to skip a grade they seemed to relax.
We were very willing to have them test him as they pleased and said if he did not demonstrate mastery then we agreed he should not be accelerated. He was several years ahead of the school program so it was not an issue.
They would often suggest he help teach other kids and we refused to let this happen on a regular basis. Good luck!!
