School is Reluctant to Test a Gifted Five-Year-Old

Academic skills are more solid, and testing results have more validity, when testing is postponed until the end of the kindergarten year.
Same situation
My son's school also refuses to test him until 3rd grade! In the meantime they have no formal program in place for him and his teacher is not making any attempts to challenge him at all. He has become anxious, bored and a discipline issue at home. We decided today to move him to a private school. AG students are special just like students with learning disabilities. It is a shame they cannot get services.
