Last year, I asked the school counselor (who does the evals for acceleration) to clarify the assessment requirements. Was that "95" needed to accelerate meaning 95th percentile on the test, or 95%? She replied, "Yes". I asked her again and got the SAME answer..."Yes". I knew we were in trouble at that point.

Incidentally, the test she gave DS5 required him to solve multiplication & division problems, which I don't think is pertinent to skipping kindergarten.
