My 6.5 year old had an IQ test this summer, and scored in the highly gifted category. He currently attends a private school that we quite like, at least so far.
The thing is that my son is working on some math that is probably about 2-3 years above grade level (long multiplication, some division) and is reading quite well (books around the 4th grade or so). He seems to like school so far, but his skill set is reaching the point where I'm wondering how challenging the 1st grade will be--mainly in the areas of literacy and math.
I know the school will do some differentiation but I wonder if they might be better prepared with this information?
I'm sensitive to being obnoxious to teachers or the needs of other students- I just think he's ready to go full steam in some subject areas.
