Not relevant to OP but posting here because it is relevant to the discussion of >1 grade skips.

To echo what Val said, we did not dare try pushing for another skip even though our DD could have easily done the academics standing on her head.

Last year was quite a painful experience for her 7/8th grade is really where the bitchiness, backstabbing and shunning reaches its nadir and our DD was thoroughly unprepared for it. Physically she has been a late developer and grade peer girls really had a field day pointing it out to her constantly. Luckily, she made friends with a crew of rambunctious yet nerdy boys and all ended wel but I shudder to think what would have happened had she been more than 1 grade ahead of age peers.

If your child is an early bloomer physically perhaps this will not be as much of an issue and every child is different - only you know your child best.

This year our DD is a 13 year old freshman and is thriving at HS.
