I have heard of this in number of high schools. So what do kids do when they subject accelerate and you hit high school? Assuming you do not grade skip do you just repeat all the subjects all over again. It would be painful for a number of kids.

They didn't have to worry about subject accelerated kids from within the district, because they didn't allow subject acceleration (with the exception of allowing a few kids to take Algebra I in seventh grade). I'm not sure what they did with kids coming in from out of district or from private schools. My guess is that very few people ever challenged the policy. The district only changed its policy a few years ago because the state finally mandated that that gifted students be given opportunities for acceleration.
