We have not done a grade skip with DD due to sports. My husband and I were both D1 athletes and had scholarships that payed for everything. We were also both very good students. Honestly, students with perfect to near perfect GPA's and high SAT/ACT are pretty common. These students who are also D1 caliber athletes are rare. I had several friends who had slightly higher GPA's and SAT scores than me, I also was the one offered a spot at schools they applied to. We are a family of athletes and most neices and nephews are collegiate athletes. Ask yourself how talented your daughter really is, not just locally but regionally and state wide. If she is really an excellent athlete I would not do the skip.
