So, we have our data...looking for thoughts on the grade skip before our meeting next week...
Few reminders: bright, very talkative and curious ADHD'er who may skip from 4th to 6th. Loves school but bored a lot and reads tons throughout the day to "entertain" himself. He is a teacher pleaser and liked by female peers and loved by male peers and looked as a leader. Average for maturity, tall for size. Big vocabulary and intense. Needs to know everything and loves to learn, wherever he is. Medicated so ADHD symptoms tend to not be a big issue in school at this time (minus excessive talking-which is always on task and adds to discussions per teachers). Has a very slight speech articulation issue when tired or when not enunciating but doesn't qualify for support. Decent handwriting (prints everything but neat and same size). Loves to write creatively but answers fact based essays unless prompted with minimum needed to get answered correctly. He is in support of the skip at this juncture, stating he'd still get to see friends in the building but "learn something" if he moved up. : )
No G/T programming at all in this school (or any nearby school). Only option is accelerated courses starting in 8th grade/high school without acceleration. Very independent student who doesn't need assistance with organization or school work. Involved in both sports and clubs, as a leader in 2. Small community....Thoughts from other parents/experts?

(I think he was taking his time here because he tends to works fast but accurately. I think he knew it was a high stakes test and was able to recognize that personally. Could be wrong but...)

Can anyone figure GAI for me as well?
