Great advice Debbie. I'm glad your son is doing so well!
Momofonegirl,
What grade is your DD6 currently attending? Did she recently turn six?
Are there other full grade or subject accelerated children at the school?
I don�t think you will have to worry about your child going from the top student to one who has to work �just to keep up� with a single skip. IMO, a single skip with additional subject acceleration is ideal.
Although your daughter is only 6, you may want to at least inquire what courses are available at the local high schools in your area. An important consideration for our situation in considering subject or full grade acceleration is what some (relatively) nearby high schools can offer for courses above the usual sequence. Some schools would simply run out of courses if our student began the sequence in 7th grade, while others offer more advanced courses than any student could possibly take in four years. An early start could ensure greater access without having to graduate high school early.
