I've had 4 friends, all with HG+ kids, all take the CoGat and miss the cutoff for their schools gifted programs. Most schools use a total score rather than looking at individual subtest scores.
There is more info on subtests than any total score. Do you have the breakdown of the WISCIV? Many, many kids have scored low on working memory and/or processing speed scores but have 130+ on either verbal score or perceptual reasoning. Depending on the school, I feel these kids need services as well. I read in some gifted book, that a kid at 124-129 level can be very bored to his/her detriment the same a kid in 145+ range can be in a school geared for 130s. Also, you say he was 99th% on the WJ! Do you have that breakdown? That can tell you where his greatest achievement areas are if it was a good test day for him.
You have to try to determine what "bored" means to your child. FOr my son, bored means "I'm not interested in that," "I already know that so I don't want to do it again," "That's hard and I don't want to put forth the effort."
A friend in my district recommended having the teacher administer the end of year test. If he gets 90% on that correct, he could use to move up. And I've seen this stressed so many times, it doesn't need to be 100% correct.
I also second getting outside testing done, especially if the school will accept the results. It would be good to find out if there is a psych they recommend as they might only accept scores from someone they *approve* of.
