I found this to be a problem with my DS. His preschool teacher told me that he that he couldn't recognize his numbers from 1-10. I was like, "you know he can read, add, and subtract, right?" Of course she had no idea. I too wonder if he's hiding his abilities. DS also turned 4 in May and I though about early addmission as well but then I found a special school for gifted children in my area that is K-8. I think that if they are around other children with similar abilities that they will not be pressured to be "normal" and their abilities will become more evident to their teachers. Maybe there is a school like this in your area.
