Another thing you could do is pay for private school for a year and then transfer, putting him directly into first grade fall 2016.
Our state has a policy that kids born in the first part of the school year can go into K early (fall birthdays) if they have certain test scores which the parent pays for themselves. DD has an Oct. birthday. I didn't know how advanced she was or I probably would have tried to get her in early. But we waited and then K was a disaster where she was the only kid in the class that could read. So we accelerated her into 1st in November of that year. The district had more rigid cut-offs though (for acceleration vs. early entry), requiring the child to score 98 percent accurate on all tests for material that was already covered and will miss. It would have been so much easier to get her in early. It wouldn't be an option even for you here, though, because Feb. is too late. I'm not sure if exceptions are ever made.
