Thanks for your response

. We really want to avoid grade skipping, this area is highly competitive (surrounded by 11 colleges and universities) for scholarships, etc. It would be a last resort. My youngest is very independent and seeks information on his own,but, he loves people and works well in groups too.
I forgot to mention that my oldest was subject accelerated in the leveled classes at our previous school. He has completed the 3rd grade NC curriculum in math, reading comp, writing, spelling and language arts. He is a rising 3rd grader, so I'm not sure if going one grade level up is enough since it would just be next on the agenda anyway. He did complain of being bored and rarely got stuck (high As for his report card as well). Long division seemed to stick a bit but my husband was able to explain it and then he got it.
