Sounds similar to the program my DS was in 4-6th.
But keep in mind my son's class didn't just do the next grades material. What they did try to do was have "deeper" discussions about topics and more complex projects. The teacher expected more detailed writing. The teachers spent less time 'explaining' what to do, and dealing with discipline problems that they could have time to add interesting. Much of what is normally seat work was set home as homework, so they had time to do group projects at school. They did MORE material with more complex problems instead of accelerating all the kids even more grades.
If what your son needs is grade acceleration perhaps you need to talk with the school about that.
