I teach 6th grade math.
My son tested out of 6th grade math and is doing fantastic.
For my Davidson kid, we didn't skip - we compacted. She is in public school, but we were allowed to put her in a combo of online and homeschool for her math, and she did all curriculum for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade in one year. She entered 6th grade with 8th grade math.
I always think compacting is better than skipping grades.
What they actually learn in those grades changes from state to state. So be aware that we all may be talking about slightly different things when we talk about how much is review at each grade level.
Everyone, please be aware that the recommnedations for grade level pacing are all changing in the next couple of years.
