If you think a grade skip is warranted, start the conversations with the school now. March is a great time to start the acceleration process, if you wait until May, the school will likely say there is too little time to do a proper evaluation this year.

And I second the opinion to look at the Iowa Acceleration Scale, especially if this is the official process your district uses (but I'd recommend it even if it isn't your district's policy).

Just my two cents.
