Thanks ladies, I appreciate your thoughts. It sounds like the test might pick up LD issues (which is the purpose of him taking it anyway, as part of the IEP process) but not necessarily be a good measure of IQ (too bad, I guess I was hoping for a freebee LOL). I guess then the only qualm I have about this process is the unlikely situation in which he'd apply to the district's full-time gifted program in a couple years - this score will be part of his record. Ultimately though, that program is not so good for 2E kids and has extremely stringent requirements about staying two grade levels ahead in every subject (or at least that's how I read the handbook), and I imagine we'll stick with the montessori anyway, at least until middle school. You don't suppose a score from K could be considered for entrance to the middle school gifted program? hmmmm...
thanks again
