I talked to two GT coordinators last week and neither had ever heard of kids skipping K. They had heard of limited skipping in later years, ie skip 2d, etc, but it was rare. I also did a lexis-nexis search for kids graduating early ( ie 16 or younger) in North Texas and found nothing.

I've heard of a few kids GED'ing out and going to college at 16, though.
