Here is the link for the MAP Norms. His 184 Math (page 143) is 88% for 1st grade and his 175 reading (page 131) is 76% for 1st grade.

With that approach, I ended up doing lots of after-schooling in order to keep her challenged.
With DD6 we did private achievement testing before she started K. The psych wanted to wait until she was 6 to do the IQ test but the achievement results were enough to ask the principal for subject acceleration in math and reading. This has worked out much better than in class differentiation.
You might ask the teacher if there have been other kids who have done subject and/or grade acceleration at the school. It's been a good way for DD6 to get the exposure to new material without after-schooling cutting into her play time when she gets home.
P.S. My girls were also perfectly happy to not be challenged at school. I think DD8 spent lots of time daydreaming in class until she was really asked to work this year. This is a good article that points out the problems with letting kids stay unchallenged.
