Nope. They are only required to have a program with procedures for referring and identifying. Test scores alone are not enough. Based on the work samples OP said she provided, I’m not convinced he qualifies or needs it.

There has to be some criteria governing the identification of gifted students.  The mandate would be pretty pointless if each school district could arbitrarily label kids as "not gifted" in their program and then not provide services, especially if that child has already been identified/diagnosed as being gifted based on a 1-1 evaluation with a psychologist.

The mandate states that no single criterion can identify giftedness;  The OP, however, has 4 in the form of the NNAT, CogAT, WISC, and GBRS.  It would be tough for them to justify that their panel has labeled the kid as "not gifted" in this case, and it would really bring the into question the integrity of the panel.  This is all, of course, assuming that the OP has been fully truthful.   :) [/quote]
