(Sorry...by the time I submitted the two previous posts were in).
I think the only way you'll find out is to go to the principal and straight out ask. Don't beat around the bush, explain to them exactly what you are seeing and hearing at home.
What prompted them to test your son? You have already mentioned testing as a result of problems in the classroom, was this the reason? If so I would take them to task if they don't test simply because your DD has a different personality and is compliant in the classroom.
This strikes a cord with me because my son's behaviour in the classroom always was and remains that of your daughters and he would only ever say anything detrimental about school when he was at home.
Unfortunately I can't speak regarding what schools do and don't do due to my location. In our case my son was accelerated without testing and I requested testing be done so he could access community and university programs.
I hpoe this helps
