Do the private, charter, or other k programs follow the state on early entrance. Plus you've got time to research and fight... but only if there is wiggle room. Can you legally skip K?
Also... I hate to ask the obvious but did you read the no early e on the state site or did you hear it from a non state person. Either way, I would actually call your state's department of education and ask... then if your state funds any gifted programs then ask to talk to a person who works in that area (different states call it different things - ours is like exceptional talent office I think). I was amazed that people in the state office actually talked to me at length, and emailed me back.
Of course, maybe you already know and it really it locked down... but what if a kid moved into state and was young, therefore, what if you tested into 1st. Or suffer k and skip 1st but now I'm really getting ahead of the game.
