good questions. We had the WPPSI done and he scored in the 99.7%, not DYS material, but definitely gifted. His teacher has his scores and before he entered Kindergarten he was given a battery of tests by a psychologist due to some other issues, and he was in the 99.9% on the Woodcock Johnson, so the school already is aware of him.
Good idea about the school counselor. The specialists at our school are only for the under performing students. No IEPs are given to students who meet academic standards, but I like this school for a variety of other reasons. There is a school I would like to apply to for 5th grade, so I need to make this work for a few more years.
