It helped me realize that I had been underestimating my dd's LOG, prompted us to get her tested with WISC, and encouraged me to ask school to do further testing and use Iowa Acceleration Scale which led to a highly successful skip from 5th to 7th grade. Dd is thriving and happy and I think while academically she could use another skip, it has somewhat helped stem perfectionism. I think it is very much worthwhile. FWIW, the school had zero reaction--(and considering her very high scores I expected some kind of response). But it did serve as evidence that it was appropriate to consider acceleration. Good luck!
