Now here's another question - Theoretically, What kind of middle school or high school are you thinking you can find for a kid who is scoring 4s and 5s on AP tests?
I wouldn't show a school AP scores or 3 or below, and I would be really pleased and suprised to find any high school or middle school that can offer much to a kid who scores higher.
SAT, ACT and SAT II scores I would show a school if the scores were 'average or above' and expect them to find it useful.
Are you sure that this future move can't send you in the Reno direction? ((humor Alert))

Good question
Actually I think I'd be more looking for a school that DS wanted to go to (possibly for primarily social reasons?), that maybe could be impressed with scores that encouraged them to either place him way ahead, or excuse him from their math curriculum to do his own work independently. Basically, if there comes a time when school sounds like a good idea, I want to be prepared in whatever way I need to be to keep it from being completely hideous. And I'm thinking test scores might be the way to go.
And I should say, just to clarify, that if there are AP scores involved they would just be AP Stats, not AP Calc... much easier, IMO! And leaving room for the more "normal" high school courses in Precalc and Trig and Calculus... we're just going off on a tangent here.... My approach has been to load up the "middle" of the curriculum with interesting tangents rather than get to the end sooner, so there's hope that a school might not run out of stuff to do with him... I just don't want them saying "you have to be this tall to take Trig"
