Kriston,
I agree that 1st would be a great skip, but it's a hard one to accomplish at least in our school system. 2nd was a good year for DD since it was a good teacher fit and the pace picked up a bit. 3rd grade was torture because we have our first round of achievement testing. The entire year consisted of math drills and DD was bored out of her mind. Focus was on the kids who needed intervention.
For us, getting the early entrance to K was a great option, because we had a hard time with any skips later on. Right now we have subject acceleration that may be enough until middle school (next year). The key is to take it year by year and adjust the plan as needed.
