One of my nephews who was accelerated two years is very athletic. The acceleration was at the instigation of the private elementary school and was a really good thing even through public middle school. By public high school, it became a bad thing due partly to the sports piece. He is very athletic but relatively small even for his age. While he still held his own with boys 2 years older and much bigger, he was no longer competitive enough to get a spot on the school team. Without the two year age difference, getting a spot should not have been a problem. I believe he would have prefered to do sports than start college at 16. So the question has to be what you think matters more to your DS as well as whether other accomodations short of grade skipping is possible.
