Hi, Michael. I have nothing to add - Dottie's the testing expert. Just wanted to say welcome. I guess I do have something: I'd give it a couple of weeks and see if his teacher understands him ("gets him") and is able to provide some enrichment or differentiation. I'd also check out the gifted program and see if it offers enough benefits to warrant a fight. The program at our public school was a pull-out program (meaning they pulled the kids out of their regular classroom) that met only 1 1/2 hours a week. It really wasn't much.
Just saying that you might want to pick your battles. Getting him above-average work in the regular classroom might be a better one to fight than getting him in the gifted program. Just depends on what that program does for him.
