Schools cannot do that or diagnose your kid.

My money is that she is 2e….everything you posted suggests probably high iq, with something else average or below average l. Commonly working memory but did not hear she loses stuff all the time which is the most common symptom.

She has very high iq, cognitive and verbal abilities and average to below average processing speed and fluid reasoning skills.

And she does lose things all the time.

Most of the work seems to be done in class, and my DD (who is taking all IB/DE classes with a few electives) seems to have little to do at home).

In general, she has found the advance classes less stressful than the regular ones because of the peer group. When she has taken regular-level classes, the kids are often more disruptive and the teacher has to spend a great deal of time on discipline. There also seems to be more busywork.

The other thing is that if she tries the advanced classes and realizes they are too challenging, she can drop down a level during the first quarter.

Thank you for this feedback- very helpful!!

It can be normal but I'd get a private evaluation just to make sure. Schools generally will not help if they don't have to.

You should get the book gifted and distracted.

Author had 3 2e kids before it was even a diagnosis. Now she trains schools on how to teach them. They are pretty rare.
