K/1st/2nd 2011-12 academic year

I'm new to the forum but thought I'd chime in. I'm figuring out how very lucky we are to have the school my 6-year-old son attends.

It's our local public school. They allowed him to "skip" kindergarten (upon the recommendation of his Pre-K teachers) and attend first grade last year. He was enrolled in first grade and completed the second grade curriculum by the end of the year. They've enrolled him in third grade for 2012-13, and expect him to complete fourth grade by the end of that academic year.

I'm not very excited about my 6-year-old being in third/fourth grade, but his school is small and he's able to interact with kids his own age. Nobody seems to really pay attention to who's in what grade. The kids all just play together at recesses. The academics seem to be working for him at the third grade level for now.

All in all, we're very happy with our son's school. We'll see what next year brings!
