Hi, I am a bit late to this thread but did want to post our experience.

My son is very self-aware and as such, has the greatest say in his schooling. We moved to CA about a year ago and at the time, he decided he wanted to be with his age peers although he would be bored in school. We did a lot of stuff outside of school and he reads far above his grade level so it worked out okay.

He has since decided that he would prefer to be with his intellectual peers so we are working on whole-grade acceleration. Unfortunately, the school is less than supportive of it though they are putting us through "The Process". Fortunately, my transfer looks like it is going to go through and we are moving to Reno! :-)

So all of that to say: what does your child want to do?
