Thanks everyone.
Yes, the kindergarten is all day. We talked to the counselor. They won't do 1/2 day, pull out program, or in class acceleration. Great huh? 1/2 day would be ideal, yes. I would love it.

There is a loop hole where we could say he is being home schooled for kinder and then enroll him into 1st grade. Yes, that is an option. I also agree that he would be incredibly bored if we held him back. Right now, the classes he is in, he is already the class clown and gets in trouble. Because he is bored. He also has lots of trouble with impulse control, but he is 4. He spaces out because he is thinking about other things, thus is biggest problem is focusing.
