Thank you so much for your help.
He was given the WIAT-II and scores were as follows:
Word reading 111 - High Av
Pseudoword Decoding 107 - Av
Reading Comp 117 - High Av
Numerical Op 97-Average (I find this bizarre - he is a really good math student)
Math Reasoning - 126 - Superior
Spelling - 99 - Av
Written expression - 105 Av
He is actually a terrible speller so I am happy with the average there!
The Psych. said during num. op. he was working his problems from left to right. He doesn't normally do this!
Written expression is not his best area - he will do the bare minimum because he does not like the physical act of handwriting.
I don't really know anything about the reading sections.
His scaled Scat scores were 448(v) 458(m). He took the test after eligibility for awards was past. The scores did fall at the high end of the curve but I just didn't make much of it.
I am finding this school testing (achievement and IQ)suspect but then I think maybe I am in denial and my kid just isn't as smart as I think he is.
He does well in school, can get a 100% on anything he chooses to, and I don't think he has ever been challenged there. There is no differentiated instruction outside of 3 reading groups, no gifted program. I feel like the psychologist wasn't interested in finding out what my son's potential is because they have no resources for him. She is very over worked in an underbudgeted school district with a large special need population.
