In our case, stonewalling trumps logic. If they gave the test next week, he'd get that 90% criteria to be able to test at the next level!
Solala, it couldn't hurt to do cheap do-it-yourself testing as Grinity suggested. Someone suggested that we test DS6's academic levels in math using TAKS - the Texas State Assessment. It's free and estimates mastery of curriculum for different grade levels. Your district may or may not accept it as evidence that acceleration is needed. In our case, our district will not accept it, but we may use it as data for a <ahem> third party to decide if DS needs to be accelerated in math. Here's the link:
