In a school district in neighboring Nebraska when I was a kid there was a student 2 grade school teachers had 'tested' for developmental disabilities (a less polite term was used at the time). In the fullness of time, that student graduated from Caltech with honors (a full scholarship too) and went on to found his own software engineering and consulting firm in Silicon Valley.
Are you aware of any other similar 'fails' amongst your peers for mistaking an incipient genius for a kid that needs placement in a 'special' program ??
I'd like to think there is a greater awareness now of how many ways significant academic achievement might manifest itself these days, but maybe there are still a kid or 2 not recognized these days for being 'smart' ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
