MON,
I don't have anything to offer though very intested as I look at a potential grade skip for DD and how she would adjust.

Having a kid that needs the social outlet, likes the socialization of school -- and it is much different than being in a ballet class or something -- makes the grade skip an issue. Especially as you near that puberty age.

Good luck with the HS. I do not know how that will work, going back into a grade when she will probably accelerate more rapidly at home. But I would really like to hear. I am thinking of doing a grade skip within a girls private school. The private seems the best option for education and other reasons. Though it will cost 35K a year.
