My DS11 skipped a few years ago, and is now in 7th grade. He is positively thriving, and there has literally not been one negative thing about it. In the least, one skip wasn't enough.
He is not a social butterfly at all, but he has made friends who have similar interests. He finds them immature, though, but tolerable. The fact that there are nearly two years older has helped.
He also has very strong EF skills.
I do wish that DS did early entry, so that way he could have fit in another grade skip.
DS11s tester recommended another grade skip at the time, which we eventually decided against. EF skills were a concern, which I imagine is more often the case for boys than for girls.
However, we knew that a gifted program within a college prep track was an option from 5th grade onwards, otherwise the decision would have been a lot harder. If there is a choice, I’d always choose to accelerate the curriculum rather than the child...
