I do think being mature helps a lot. It was funny that teachers that didn't know about the skip remarked on the report card about how mature my child was!

AND this is something we didn't know to consider, but DD would have been in the class of covid 2020, but instead was in the class of blissfully unaware 2019. Now, that's a social win. Got to experience all the social experience of senior year.

In high school when dd was the last to drive, which limited some high school options, she said that not driving was the stupidist reason not to skip a grade.

My immature child who was never challenged academically but always challenged socially--- no we did not skip that one. Would have loved to hold that one back if academics would have worked. It really is child dependent.
