I also find this confusing. My 9 yo homeschooled kid had no issues with the SAT at the local high school. No one asked his age and the College Board will happily take money from anyone, no matter the age.
In terms of paper vs online, you cannot register online at under 13, but you still don't need your local high school. Just ask the college board (online or by phone) for a registration packet and they send it out to you.
Needing accommodations may have made this more difficult, but a child doesn't need to be enrolled in a local district, doesn't need to have the high school agree to having a young one test, and doesn't need to supply the paper packet.
