jack'smom, I've always wondered this as well. I guess I assume they should stay at the top. I have two friends who have grade skipped daughter's. They are only in upper elem. right now but remain in top couple of students. They seem to still be coasting even with the skip. I don't know what that will mean come middle/high school.

My daughter is a late March baby so she is on the younger side for her class anyway. If she were a fall baby, I wouldn't even worry quite so much about the skip. She's almost a year and a half younger than many kids in class.
