It really comes down to the administrators.
We originally had Mr W at a small local daycare that ran through K and which was highly rated. Initially we thought it was flexible. Then we found out it was not.
We moved him to a larger group of day cares that runs through K owned by a very bright man and with a very bright director who has GT kids of her own. They had no problem skipping him 1 or 2 years.
We've also looked at the K-12 privates here and some are open to skipping and some are not. None of the publics do anything.
There is one we have settled on as our first choice. After asking us about Mr W and before we started asking our questions, she asked us if he was skipped and what we thought of that. DW and I just stared at her with our mouths open.
One tip that we got from a friend who teaches in a top public HS is that we can get Mr W skipped in private then switch back to public. The publics then have to take him. Ie, get 1-3 skips in a private, be at the top of the class, then switch back to a Tier public for 7-12. At least in TX.
