Although this site does seem a bit skewed, I think there can be a lot of overlap with respect to advocacy and limited school options, especially in districts that don't have a high GT population..
I agree!
I've only had one of my kids tested due to issues that she was having at school. She has Davidson level IQ scores but not Davidson level achievement scores. She also is dyslexic/dysgraphic. This is one of the few places where there are other people who have kids with a similar profile. I would have guessed that my oldest is MG because she does fine in a center program. Her teacher strongly disagrees and guesses that she is at least HG. Don't know about #3 yet though he seems more like my oldest.
FWIW, I haven't found the Ruf levels work very well for my kids. They all started reading around age 5 (ok, the dyslexic one faked us out at that age and didn't really read until 6 but that is another story). All of them have math strengths that are "out there" by all accounts. Also, my oldest is reading at or above the level of kids in her gt class who started reading at much younger ages.
