We paid for a private Woodcock Johnson achievement test for DD5 and gave the principal the results last spring. The principal offered to grade skip but we asked to try subject acceleration first because of DD5's asynchronous behavior. DD5 goes to 1st grade in the morning for reading & math. She's with her K class in the afternoon for lunch, recess & specials (art, PE, music, computer, science, library). So far this seems to be going well and the aggravation we've saved has offset the expense of testing. With DD7 we waited for the school to do the testing and that was an exercise in frustration.
